About this map

Bakersville and the surrounding Milford Township highlands are defined by the convergence of major mountain thoroughfares and recreational retreats. The local topography is anchored by Bald Knob and the Laurel Hill Tunnel, a notable engineering feature on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Cultural and community centers like Indiantown, Jimtown, and Lavansville are connected by a network of historic routes, including the prominent Glades Pike.

Recreational development is a key theme of this 2013 landscape, as evidenced by the presence of Laurel Hill State Park and the Plateau De Mount Ski Area. Water features such as Kooser Lake and the various branches of Laurel Hill Creek provide both geographic boundaries and historic points of interest for local genealogy. Specific agricultural and communal landmarks, such as Klejka Dairy, Buck Run Camp, and Conestoga Camp, offer insight into the mid-century to modern-day usage of the Somerset County terrain.
