2010 Map of Smithfield

About this map

Smithfield serves as a central hub in this corner of Fayette County, where the topography transitions from the agricultural lowlands of Georges Creek toward the rising elevations of Mountain Creek. The landscape is a complex network of small settlements and historical crossroads including York Run, Haydentown, and Shoaf. Small-scale aviation is represented by Miller Airport and Skala Airport, while family history and local industry are marked by sites like Ruble Mill and the Saint Josephs Cemetery near Fairchance. A dense grid of rural roads, such as Lutheran Church Rd and Smithfield Old Farm Rd, connects scattered hamlets like Old Frame, Outcrop, and White House. The map documents a classic Western Pennsylvania pattern of valley-bottom development and hillside mining towns, where the drainages of South Branch Browns Run and Jacobs Creek historically shaped the movement and settlement of the population.
