2010 Map of West Almond

About this map

West Almond and Phillips Creek anchor this Allegany County landscape, where small rural settlements are linked by a complex network of named backroads and valley floors. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Bald Mountain in the west and Peacock Hill to the south, with the interstate corridor cutting through the drainage basins of Angelica Creek and Black Creek. Genealogists will find the locations of the West Almond Cemetery and Phillips Creek Cemetery particularly useful for identifying family sites in these uplands. Other small locales like Scholes and Bennetts reflect the scattered residential pattern characteristic of the region. The map also traces various watercourses including California Creek, Feathers Creek, and the North Branch Phillips Creek, which gather at Palmers Pond and flow through the high country valleys.
