2023 Map of Roulette

About this map

The Allegheny River carves a central valley through this pocket of the Pennsylvania Wilds, where the settlements of Roulette and Burtville anchor the local geography. This terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and runs, many bearing the names of early settler families, such as Ernst Hollow, Meacham Hollow, and Hardes Hollow. The map reveals a persistent rural character, with development largely concentrated along the river corridor and the branching valleys of Sartwell Creek and Fishing Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Sartwell Creek Cem and Lyman Cem. The boundary between McKean and Potter counties bisects the landscape, marking a transition in local jurisdiction across the high ridges of Clara Hill and Shingle Cabin Hill.
