About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves a dramatic path through this area of southwestern Pennsylvania, defining the landscape with the deep Ohiopyle Gorge and the sharp turn of Horseshoe Bend. The town of Ohiopyle serves as a focal point near the Ohiopyle Falls, while the southern reaches of the map are dominated by the Youghiogheny River Lake near the historic Somerfield crossing.

Upland terrain features like Sugarloaf Knob and Laurel Hill provide significant elevation changes, crisscrossed by a network of trails such as the Baughman Trail and McCune Trail. Evidence of earlier transport and settlement patterns is visible along the National Pike, which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near Elk Park and Humberton. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Maple Grove Cem, while the county line between Somerset and Fayette counties follows the rugged topography of the river corridor.
