About this map

Raystown Branch Juniata River loops through the northern terrain of this quadrangle, shaping a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of Terrace Mountain and Sideling Hill. The 1963 survey captures a rural Pennsylvania community centered around the borough of Cassville and the nearby settlements of Todd, Beavertown, and Calvin. These hamlets are connected by a network of rural routes such as Paradise Road and Coder Road, which weave through the extensive Rothrock State Forest and the specialized Trough Creek Wild Area.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Sheridan Ch and Todd Tabernacle, alongside family-named landmarks like Wright Cem and Sheridan Cem. The presence of the Old Grade Railroad and scattered industrial sites, including a Shale Pit and various quarries, points to the region's historical reliance on timber and mineral extraction. Higher elevations like Shirley Knob and Horse Knob provide significant vertical relief above the fertile valleys of Great Trough Creek.
