1931 Map of Uniontown

Beyond the industrial valley, the map traces the path of the National Pike as it climbs towards the Fort Necessity Battlefield Site and Braddocks Grave, marking the colonial military corridor through the mountains. Remote landmarks like Wharton Furnace and the Dupont Powder Plant indicate the widespread extraction and manufacturing efforts that defined the region before the mid-century. Numerous rural schools, including Hughes Sch and Sugar Run Sch, provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracing families in the smaller townships of Dunbar and Wharton.
