2010 Map of Hooversville

About this map

The Stonycreek River flows north through this part of Somerset County, anchoring a landscape defined by its historic industrial settlements and water resources. The massive Quemahoning Reservoir, held by the Quemahoning Dam, dominates the western portion of the map, while small communities such as Hooversville, Davidsville, and Hollsopple dot the valleys. This area reflects a legacy of milling and small-town industry, seen in labels like Thomas Mill, Morgans Mills, and Stanton Mills. Local family history is preserved at the Kaufman Cemetery and Custer Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for genealogists. The map also captures the layout of smaller hamlets such as Blough, Foustwell, and Seanor, many of which developed along the winding river and the Shade Creek drainage. Further south, the map identifies Camp Harmony and the village of Wilbur, illustrating the mix of residential, industrial, and recreational uses in this corner of Pennsylvania.
