About this map

Berlin serves as the central hub of this Somerset County landscape, where historical settlement patterns are clearly visible through a dense network of local roads like Glades Pike and Berlin Plank Rd. The town itself is a concentration of local history, featuring the Reformed Church and several burial grounds, including the International Order of Odd Fellows Cem. To the south, the terrain descends toward Buffalo Creek and the rail junction at Niver Junction, highlighting the importance of the valley for transportation.

The surrounding countryside is characterized by numerous small, family-oriented settlements and religious sites. Genealogists will find significant value in the sheer number of family burial sites scattered across the ridges and hollows, such as the Lehman Family Cem, Christian Yoder Cem, and the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Russian Orthodox Greek Cem near Pine Hill. These landmarks, along with places like Goodtown and Macdonaldton, provide a clear picture of the community structure in this part of Pennsylvania.
