2013 Map of Wittenberg

About this map

Hays Mill and Berkleys Mill sit along the upper reaches of Blue Lick Cr in this rural Somerset County landscape, where the geography is defined by a legacy of milling and transport. The map centers on the winding path of Wills Cr and Flaugherty Cr, which historically dictated the placement of settlements like Mance and Wittenberg. These waterways provided the necessary power for early industry, reflected in several named mill sites across the quadrangle. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of local roads following the ridges and valleys, including the Old Cumberland Pike, which speaks to the area's long-standing role as a corridor for travel. Notable landmarks like the Hays Mill Lookout Tower and the small communities of Sand Patch and Glade City reveal a pattern of scattered settlement that persists amidst the dense drainage network of Brush Cr and Ware Run.
