About this map

The Casselman River.. winds through this section of Somerset County, serving as a primary corridor for both the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland railroads. At the heart of the transit network is Rockwood Station, where the river and rail lines converge near the settlement of Rockwood. The landscape is defined by a mix of early industry and community hubs, evidenced by numerous Strip Mine operations scattered throughout the Milford and Black townships.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks including the Middle Creek Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Hauger Cem. To the northwest, Laurel Hill State Park encompasses Laurel Hill Lake, while smaller communities like New Centerville and New Lexington dot the upland terrain. The presence of a Golf Course and a Pumping Station near Cozes illustrates the evolving land use in the late 1960s and 1970s.
