About this map

The Casselman River carves a deep path through the southern portion of this Somerset County landscape, defining the topography near the Casselman Gorge. The river valley serves as a primary corridor for regional infrastructure, carrying the CSX Transportation railroad line past the borough of Rockwood. This settlement is a central hub for the area, featuring the Rockwood Sch and a local Post Office near the water's edge. Further north, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural hamlets and agricultural lands, with small centers like New Centerville, Gebhart, and Kimmel connected by a network of local roads.

Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Pleasant Hill Cem and New Lexington Ch in the village of New Lexington. Water features such as Chippewa Lake and Laurel Hill Creek provide natural landmarks across the upland reaches. The map illustrates a community shaped by its waterways and rail connections, where old country roads like Indiantown Rd and Sugar Maple Rd still link long-established family farms and rural homesteads.
