About this map

Mount Davis anchors this portion of the Allegheny Mountains, serving as the highest point in Pennsylvania within the Negro Mountain ridge. The landscape is defined by its high-altitude plateaus and the deep incision of the Casselman River valley to the northwest. Along the river, the small settlements of Markleton and Pinkerton are linked by the CSX railroad and the Great Allegheny Passage National Scenic Trl, which follows the historic rail corridor.

Genealogists will find significant value in the family-named landmarks and rural burial sites scattered across the highlands, including the Old Jonas Maust Farm Cem and Vought Cem. The central part of the quadrangle features several upland water bodies like High Point Lake and Deer Valley Lake, while the remote eastern slopes are marked by geological features like Baughman Rocks and the Shelter Rocks.
