2013 Map of Hooversville

About this map

Hooversville and its surrounding borough-and-township landscape center on the northern reaches of the Quemahoning Reservoir in Somerset County. This modern survey illustrates the enduring settlement patterns of Pennsylvania's coal and agricultural country, where closely spaced villages like Jerome, Benson, and Hollsopple follow the winding course of the Stonycreek River. The infrastructure reflects the area's industrial and milling history, specifically through place names such as Thomas Mill and Stanton Mills, while the reservoir itself dominates the western half of the map. Local history is traced through small settlements like Hiyasota and Landstreet, alongside recreational landmarks such as Camp Harmony. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several waterways including Quemahoning Cr, Higgins Run, and Fallen Timber Run, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
