About this map

Uniontown serves as the central anchor of this 2010 topographic landscape, surrounded by a constellation of smaller industrial and residential settlements such as Lemont Furnace, Vances Mill, and Oliver. The map reveals a dense suburban and industrial network in the heart of Fayette County, where the topography rises sharply toward the east at Jumonville Rocks and Mount Independence. This transition from the urban valley floor to the ridgeline is marked by numerous watercourses, including Redstone Creek and Shutes Run, which carved the routes for early roads and settlement.

Institutional and memorial land use is prominent across the quadrangle, notably at the Pennsylvania State University Fayette Campus and the expansive Sylvan Heights Memorial Gardens. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the area, from Oak Lawn Cemetery near the city center to the Franklin Cemetery and Laurel Hill Cemeteries farther north. The presence of Connellsville Airport and various industrial parks indicates the area's continued role as a regional transportation and commerce hub in the early 21st century.
