2016 Map of Saltillo

About this map

Jacks Mountain and Sideling Hill define the linear, ridge-and-valley corridor of this central Pennsylvania landscape, where small hamlets like Saltillo and Robertsdale anchor local history. The map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Robertsdale Italian Cem and the Edwards Family Cem, which offer significant genealogical markers for those tracing local heritage. Roads such as Cooks Rd and Gravedigger Dr connect these communities across the difficult terrain of Poplar Hollow and Coles Valley. The intersection of Huntingdon and Fulton counties is visible near New Grenada, a settlement positioned at the confluence of several rural routes including Wells Valley Rd and Summers Rd. Numerous watercourses like Great Trough Cr and Sideling Hill Creek drain the valleys, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that historically dictated the placement of mountain passes and settlements.
