2013 Map of Beaver Springs

About this map

Beaver Springs anchors the northern portion of this landscape, situated along Beaver Cr and Route 522 beneath the prominent slopes of Ore Ridge. The geography is defined by a series of parallel ridges and valleys characteristic of central Pennsylvania, with Shade Mountain forming a massive central barrier. To the south, a network of small agricultural settlements including Evendale, Kellerville, and Cocolamus are linked by local routes like Pa-35. The presence of Gimberlings Mill on Cocolamus Cr points to a history of water-powered industry in the region's fertile valleys. Numerous mountain gaps such as Romig Gap, Botteiger Gap, and Varner Gap provide the primary passage through the high terrain, connecting the secluded lowlands of Slim Valley and Leister Valley to the broader regional road network.
