2013 Map of Central City

About this map

Central City and the neighboring community of Cairnbrook anchor the northern landscape of this Somerset County quadrangle. The map reveals a transition from these clustered residential grids to the recreational and residential development surrounding Indian Lake and Lake Stonycreek in the southwest. A network of local roads such as Shade Church Rd and Monument Rd connect small settlements like Reels Corners and Buckstown to the more developed centers. The area’s varied elevations are noted by landmarks like the Statler Hill Lookout Tower and scenic overlooks such as Central City Vista and Grand View. Numerous waterways, including Dark Shade Cr, Little Dark Shade Cr, and Breastwork Run, define the drainage patterns across the terrain, illustrating how local roads follow the path of least resistance through the mountains.
