2016 Map of Central City

About this map

The Flight 93 National Memorial stands as a significant commemorative landscape in the western portion of this 2016 survey, marking the transition from the rolling highlands of Somerset County into the more rugged eastern ridges. The settlement of Central City serves as a northern anchor, where the drainage of Dark Shade Cr and Little Dark Shade Cr carved deep valleys into the Plateau. To the south, the development around Indian Lake and Lake Stonycreek shows a shift toward recreational land use, contrasting with the rural crossroads of Buckstown and Reels Corners. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain at the Somerset and Bedford county line, where the land drops sharply through Negro Hollow toward Grand View. Historic travel routes are well-preserved in labels like Old Forbes Rd, offering a window into the evolution of transport through these mountain passes.
