About this map

Normalville and Mill Run center this late-1960s survey of the western slopes of Laurel Hill. The landscape is defined by the deep winding gorge of the Youghiogheny River and a network of mountain streams including Indian Creek and Mill Run. The transportation corridor of the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland railroads follows the river’s curves, highlighting the industrial connectivity of the era.

Evidence of local heritage is found in numerous mountain cemeteries and small congregations such as Hickman Chapel and Maple Summit Ch. The topography shows a transition from resource extraction, indicated by a Strip Mine, to recreation and conservation at Ohiopyle State Park and State Game Lands No 111. Notable landmarks like Rogers Mill and Critchfield Stone provide specific points of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Fayette County.
