Mercer County on the Allegheny Plateau of western Pennsylvania

The Allegheny Plateau encompasses eastern and central New York, northern and western Pennsylvania, northern and western West Virginia, and eastern Ohio.

While many people think of a plateau as a flat-topped region, alterations by water streams over the past 400 million years have uplifted and profoundly changed the plateau, resulting in a much more exciting appearance.

A scenic drive through Mercer County, and other areas of the Allegheny Plateau will instead show you a landscape that is hilly and, in some areas, mountainous in appearance.
