2019 Map of Roulette

About this map

The Allegheny River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the primary corridor for settlement and transit near the boundary of McKean Co and Potter Co. The village of Roulette serves as a central hub, flanked by the smaller communities of Burtville and Knowlton. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of steep hollows and ridges, such as Shingle Cabin Hill and Clara Hill, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Hill Cem, Lyman Cem, and Card Creek Cem, which sit near the river’s edge. North of the river, the landscape is deeply dissected by numerous tributaries like Sartwell Cr and Fishing Cr, with family-named landmarks such as Leman Hollow and Meacham Hollow tracing the winding paths of rural development in this part of Pennsylvania.
