About this map

Laurel Hill Creek winds through the heart of this Somerset County landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and rural crossroads in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a region defined by its water resources and small-scale infrastructure, featuring landmarks like Kings Bridge and several localized impoundments such as Lake Pyle and Clairton Lake. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous named runs like Gary Run and Showman Run feeding into the larger creek system.

Local history is preserved through the nomenclature of the land, from the settlement at Scullton to the curiously named Schweinbinzville. The presence of Whipkey Dam near Metzler and the Cranberry Glade Dam in the southwest corner reflects the managed waterways of the area. A dense network of local roads, including names like Covered Bridge Rd and Earl Ansell Rd, connects these scattered communities and hollows, including the uniquely named Flugey Hollow.
