About this map

The Casselman River winds through this region of Somerset County, carving the Casselman Gorge as it moves past the borough of Garrett. This landscape is defined by its industrial and agricultural history, where the legacy of milling and extraction is evident in names like Berkleys Mill, Engles Mill, and Shaw Mines. The town of Meyersdale serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements such as West Meyersdale and Salisbury Junction. To the south, the community of Salisbury and its neighbor West Salisbury sit near the banks of Tub Mill Run.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including several notable burial grounds like Highland Cem, Union Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. The rugged terrain is anchored by Negro Mountain in the northwest and Hunsrick Summit to the south, with numerous waterways like Elklick Cr and Blue Lick Cr cutting through the valleys. The map also records rural landmarks like Summit Mills and the Pleasant Hill School Rd, reflecting the area's deep-rooted small-town infrastructure.
