About this map

New Freeport serves as the focal point of this Greene County landscape, situated near the confluence of Herod Run and the Pennsylvania Fork Fish Creek. The region is defined by its dense network of family-named cemeteries and small settlements like Aleppo, Deep Valley, and Nettle Hill. Notable for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous burial grounds including Chess Cem, Staggers Cem, and the Sugar Grove Cem.

Transport and movement are marked by the Warrior Trl, which traverses the high ground of Windy Gap and Mount Carmel Ridge. These ridges separate the drainage of the South Fork Dunkard Fork from the creek systems to the south. The presence of the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church and several post offices indicates the enduring community centers that have anchored this rural corner of Pennsylvania through the decades.
