The ridge crosses Westmoreland County and Fayette County into West Virginia then gradually disappears into a series of hills and finally ends roughly 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Morgantown, West Virginia.
The ridge passes near the cities of: Blairsville, Derry, Latrobe, Mt. Pleasant, Connellsville, and Uniontown in Pennsylvania; and Morgantown in West Virginia. Beartown Wilderness can be reached via Chestnut Ridge and is located to its north.
The Chestnut Ridge people take their name from this region.
