2010 Map of Stoystown

About this map

The Stonycreek River carves a winding path through this corner of Somerset County, anchoring a landscape defined by small hamlets and the development of water resources. In the north, Stoystown and Kantner sit near the river's upper reaches, while to the south, Shanksville occupies a prominent position where the Stonycreek River meets Rhoads Creek. This area shows a transition from traditional agricultural and milling sites, like Walkers Mill and the nearby Walker Cemetery, to more modern recreational and utility landmarks. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by significant water features including Lake Stonycreek, controlled by the Lake Stonycreek Dam, and the neighboring Indian Lake. Smaller named settlements such as Mostoller, Kimmelton, and Lambertsville are connected by a network of rural routes like Old Lincoln Hwy and Old Forbes Rd, tracing historical paths through the Glades Valley and across Walnut Hill.
