About this map

The Allegheny River carves a deep loop through the northeastern corner of this landscape, framing the high ground of Wood Hill and the settlement of Rockland. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Whann Run and the various branches of Little Scrubgrass Cr, which historically powered local industry at sites like Sutton Mill and Sedwicks Mill. This 2013 survey illustrates a classic Pennsylvania rural arrangement, where small crossroad communities such as Riddle Crossroads, Smith Corners, and Kohlmeyer Corner serve as anchors for the surrounding farm and forest lands.

Industrial and social footprints are visible in the proximity of Westminster Highlands Camp to the river and the various "Corner" and "Mill" place-names that reflect the area's genealogical and economic roots. Major thoroughfares connect Clintonville and Eau Claire, while numerous smaller roads like Rankin Chapel Rd and Old Lisbon Rd provide access to more isolated points such as Summit Hill and Eakin Knob.
