About this map

Uniontown serves as the focal point of this Fayette County survey, showing the city's dense residential grid and industrial surroundings during the mid-20th century. The landscape is heavily marked by extractive industry, with numerous gas wells and strip mines dotting the northern townships of Franklin and Dunbar. Transportation corridors like the Penn Central railroad and the Connellsville Airport facilitated the movement of coal and goods from local settlements like Lemont Furnace and Monarch.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and denominational markers, from Sylvan Heights Cem to the Mt St Macrina Academy and St Vincent de Paula Ch. This 1973 revision highlights the transition from traditional mining villages to modern suburban expansions, seen in neighborhoods like Evans Manor and the developed Shopping Center at Hatfield. The map preserves the locations of local schoolhouses such as the Clark Sch and Mount Hope Sch, which anchored these small communities.
