2019 Map of Barnesboro

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River cuts through this portion of the Pennsylvania coal region, where the industrial history of Northern Cambria and Spangler remains etched in the landscape. This area is notable for its high density of ethnic and denominational cemeteries, reflecting the diverse immigrant workforce that once powered the local mines. Clusters of burial grounds like Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Cem, Saint John's Ukrainian Cem, and Saint Stanislaus Kostka Cem north of Barnesboro testify to the tightly knit community structures of the early twentieth century. Small settlements and patches such as Emeigh, Marsteller, and Stifflertown are connected by a network of runs, including Cush Cushion Cr and Moss Cr, while the tri-county corner of Indiana, Clearfield, and Cambria Counties provides a clear jurisdictional boundary for local historians and genealogists.
