REMARKS: One of the highest points in Greene County; an excellent view of the Pittsburgh Plateau in southwestern Pennsylvania. The character of the plateau here is one of rounded hills and shallow stream valleys, and most of the land surface is on hillslopes. This character of the plateau is unique to the southwestern part of the Commonwealth. Flat-lying beds of sandstone, shale, and limestone of the Greene Formation (Permian age) underlie Minnie Knob.
