About this map

Beaver Springs serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, situated along the Beaver Creek corridor where it meets South Branch Middle Creek. The terrain is defined by the parallel ridges of Shade Mountain, marked by a series of distinct gaps including Romig Gap, Varner Gap, and Shellenberger Gap. These natural passes historically dictated the movement of goods and people between the small valleys that characterize this part of Snyder County.

Evidence of local industry and community life is found at Gimberlings Mill on the Cocolamus Creek, and in the clusters of settlements like Cocolamus, Evendale, and Kellerville. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites, including Adamsburg Cemetery near the northern border and Brick Church Cemetery further south. The map also records specialized land use, from the Pa-638 Reservoir to the Shelley Private Airport, illustrating the continued utility of the land for local infrastructure and recreation.
