1939 Map of Uniontown
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The industrial and revolutionary heritage of Fayette County is deeply etched into the landscape surrounding Uniontown. During the late 1930s, the region was defined by a dense network of extraction and production, including active furnace sites like Lemont Furnace, Oliphant Furnace, and Wharton Furnace. The presence of the Dupont Powder Plant and numerous numbered coal patch towns such as Oliver No 3 reflects the heavy reliance on the local mineral wealth. Transportation routes were dominated by the Pennsylvania RR and Baltimore and Ohio RR, which serviced the valley's manufacturing hubs while threading through the Chestnut Ridge.
