About this map

Gillett and the surrounding townships of northern Bradford County are defined by a series of high ridges and deep hollows, including Blodgett Hollow and Smut Hollow. This landscape is dotted with small, historic hamlets like Snedekerville and Fassett, which are connected by a web of rural roads such as Bird Creek Rd and Coryland Rd. The area's genealogical depth is evident in the numerous burial grounds, such as Upper Gillett Cem and Potter Cem, which serve as markers for long-established family homesteads.

The headwaters of Roaring Run and Justice Run carve through the terrain, passing landmarks like Baker Hill and Rowley Hill. Evidence of earlier communities persists in names like Wolf Settlement and Berrytown, illustrating a pattern of upland farming and small-scale crossroad settlements. The concentration of cemeteries, including Baptist Hill Cem and Coryland Presbyterian Cem, reflects the early religious and social centers of these rural mountain valleys.
