About this map

Pot Ridge and the surrounding high country define this portion of the Allegheny Front where Somerset, Bedford, and Cambria counties meet. Small rural settlements like Ogletown and Crumb are connected by a network of historic routes including the Old Bedford Pike and State Rte 1037. The landscape is heavily marked by the headwaters of numerous waterways, such as Clear Shade Creek and Babcock Creek, which carve deep hollows like Coon Hollow and Rocklick Hollow into the terrain.

Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds, including the Ogletown Brethren Cem and Mock Church Cem. These sites, along with the Crum Oldham Cem, provide essential data points for genealogists tracing families in this intersection of western Pennsylvania counties. Modern recreational use is visible through the Babcock Division Snowmobile Trails and the Lost Turkey Trail, which wind through the forested ridges near Piney Lake.
