About this map

Deep valley drainages and an extensive network of gas wells define this 1960s landscape in southwestern Greene County. At the confluence of Pennsylvania Fork Fish Creek and Hamilton Run, the village of New Freeport serves as a local hub near the Springhill Freeport Sch. The topography is shaped by the winding South Fork Dunkard Creek and Mt Carmel Ridge, which separate various townships including Aleppo and Springhill.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Staggers Cem, Schess Cem, and Evans Cem, often located on high ground overlooking the hollows. Evidence of local infrastructure includes a Covered Bridge near the northern boundary and multiple industrial features like the Compressor Station along Fish Creek. Small settlements like McCracken, Nettle Hill, and Deep Valley are connected by a web of unimproved roads and runs, including Monkey Hollow and Wagonroad Run.
