2019 Map of South Connellsville

About this map

South Connellsville and the rugged canyon of the Youghiogheny River define this corner of Fayette County. The map details the transition from industrial and residential clusters like Dunbar, Mahoning, and Furnace Hill in the northwest to the high, wooded ridges of the Laurel Highlands in the southeast. A dense network of family history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds, including the Hughes Family Cem - 1, Hay Family Cem, and Roebuck Cem. The terrain is marked by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Indian Creek Gorge up to Tharp Knob. Former industrial sites and company housing areas such as Brown Row, Factory Hill, and Pechin are documented alongside the Sitka railroad junction, showing the area's deep roots in the regional coal and manufacturing economy.
