About this map

Ryerson Station State Park anchors the northern reaches of this rural Greene County landscape, where the headwaters of the South Fork Dunkard Fork and Pennsylvania Fork Fish Creek carve through the steep terrain. The settlement pattern here is deeply rooted in the winding hollows and narrow ridges, with communities like Aleppo, New Freeport, and Nettle Hill serving as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the township, including the Schess Cemetery near Riggs and the Evans Cemetery south of Aleppo. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Mount Carmel Ridge, while the network of narrow rural routes like Behm Rd and Jollytown Rd follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated points like Windy Gap and Deep Valley.
