About this map

Negro Mountain dominates this part of Somerset County, rising as a prominent ridgeline that hosts the state's highest point at Mount Davis. The landscape is a mix of protected wilderness and recreation, with Forbes State Forest blanketing much of the terrain and the Mount Davis Natural Area providing a focal point for conservation. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the watercourses, particularly near the Casselman River where Markleton and Pinkerton sit.

Engineering and infrastructure are evident in the Pinkerton Tunnel and the presence of the Mount Davis Airport. The area’s transition into a destination for outdoor enthusiasts is marked by the Glade Knob Ski Slope and large water bodies like High Point Lake and Deer Valley Lake. Roads such as Isley Coal Run Rd and Comptons Mill Rd hint at the historic industrial and agricultural pathways that once connected these high-altitude communities.
