About this map

Laurel Hill State Park and Forbes State Forest dominate the western portion of this Somerset County landscape, defined by high ridges and recreational infrastructure. The Laurel Hill Tunnel pierces the mountain ridge near Bald Knob, while the Plateau De Mount Ski Area and various camps like Buck Run Camp signify the area's importance for tourism and leisure.

Settlement is concentrated along the valleys, with Bakersville and Lavansville serving as primary hubs. The map captures a detailed network of rural infrastructure, from the Laurel Ridge Dam creating Laurelridge Lake to the various named runs like Shafer Run and Indian Creek that drain the slopes. Local history is preserved in names like Moore School Rd, pointing to the region's earlier educational landscape and rural community centers.
