About this map

Rogersville and the surrounding drainage of South Fork Tenmile Creek define this rural landscape near the boundary of Washington and Greene counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of winding hollows and ridges, with small settlements like Nineveh and Rutan situated along narrow valley floors. Transportation routes such as W & W Railroad Rd and Browns Creek Rd follow these natural contours, illustrating how the geography of southwestern Pennsylvania dictated historical movement and settlement patterns.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds, including the Beulah Cem, South Ten Mile Cem, and Rosemont Cem. The map also preserves the names of early educational landmarks like Dunn School Rd and Booth School Rd, alongside curiously named terrain such as Devils Half Acre. These labels reflect a long-settled agricultural region where the names of original homesteading families are etched into the local nomenclature.
