Geography

The Fredericktown-Millsboro CDP was located at 39°59′42″N 79°59′58″W (39.995095, -79.999370).[1]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP had a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2), all of it land.

Both Fredericktown and Millsboro are located along the Monongahela River in the river valley. The communities and the surrounding areas are the former homes of bituminous coal mines. The topography has been somewhat altered by the addition of slate dumps: large mounds of coal byproducts have been created on the riverbanks.

gollark: Data caps kind of make sense in that they get people to reduce usage a lot but allow high-bandwidth access when needed... but are very annoying.
