About this map

Berlin serves as the central hub of this Somerset County landscape, where the Stonycreek River and Glades Valley shape the local topography. This 2016 survey highlights a network of small settlements and historical transit points, including Niver Junction and the colliery-related name of Shaft. The map captures the agricultural and early industrial character of the region, evidenced by the scattered distribution of communities like Brotherton, Macdonaldton, and Roxbury.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed placement of local landmarks such as Pike Cem and the Mount Zion-Hays Cem. The drainage patterns of Buffalo Cr and Blue Lick Cr define the lower reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the land's transition from the valley floor toward the surrounding heights. Family-named roads like Baltzer Bridge Rd and Henry Black Ln offer a look into the enduring local ties to the land.
