About this map

Cuzzart and the surrounding high country of Pleasant Mountains are defined by a complex network of headwater streams and active industrial sites in this late 1950s survey. The landscape is marked by extensive strip mines that weave through the ridges between Muddy Creek and Beaver Creek. Human settlement is centered on small community hubs like Centenary and Lenox, each anchored by local institutions such as Centenary Ch and Wesley Ch.

Transport through these uplands follows the historic Brandonville Turnpike, which connects the scattered rural schoolhouses, including Mountain View Sch and Center Sch. The presence of numerous family-named landmarks like Parnell Cem and Miller Cem provides valuable points of interest for genealogists tracking early families in the Portland district. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the high terrain of Briery Mountain, where numerous small runs like Jump Rock Run and Sugarcamp Run carve through the forested slopes.
