About this map

Industrial activity and small coal-patch towns define this mid-century landscape in Fayette County. The map captures a transition in the local economy, where Coke Ovens (Abandoned) sit alongside active industrial sites like Rocks Works and numerous Mine Dumps. The region is densely interconnected by the Pennsylvania RR and Monongahela RR, which served the various settlements such as New Salem, Republic, and Keisterville. Local heritage is preserved in sites like the Old Toll House along the historic National Road and several family or parish burial grounds, including Tomasza Cem and Moore Cem.
