Rockwood and the dramatic Casselman Gorge define this portion of Somerset County, where the Casselman River carves a deep path through the highlands. The settlement at Rockwood Station serves as a reminder of the corridor's long history as a transportation hub for the region's coal and timber. High-elevation features like Lost Mountain and water bodies including Laurel Hill Lake and Chippewa Lake characterize the western reaches of the sheet, while small rural communities like Kimmel, New Centerville, and New Lexington are linked by a network of historic routes including Copper Kettle Hwy and W Mud Pike. Genealogists may find interest in the Pleasant Hill Cem located near the eastern edge, as well as the numerous family-named roads that crisscross the agricultural and wooded terrain.
