About this map

Gillett and its neighboring hamlets define this corner of Bradford County, where the landscape is marked by a series of prominent ridges and deep hollows. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and lower slopes, with Snedekerville and Dunning situated along the drainage of Justice Run. This 2019 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, particularly the high density of small family or community burial grounds that anchor the local genealogy, including the Upper Gillett Cem and Lower Gillett Cem.

Elevations rise sharply at Doty Hill and Baker Hill, with the winding Roaring Run and Bird Cr cutting through the northern terrain. The layout of the roads, such as Thompson Hill Rd and Checkerville Rd, reveals how the geography shaped transportation between small agricultural clusters like Checkerville and Berrytown. The preservation of names like Wolf Settlement and its accompanying Wolf Settlement Cem offers a direct link to early land divisions in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
