2016 Map of Blandburg

About this map

Clearfield Creek winds through the western reaches of this Pennsylvania landscape, where the borders of Clearfield, Cambria, and Blair counties meet. The settlement pattern is defined by several small communities such as Blandburg, Glasgow, and Utahville, connected by a network of rural roads like Viola Pike and Janesville Pike. Water resources are a prominent feature of the terrain, including the Sandy Run Reservoir and the Bellwood Reservoir at the southern edge of the survey area. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated around sites such as the Criswell Cem and Cambria Mills Cem. The presence of Railroad St in Blandburg and various old mill roads indicates the region's industrial past, while the plateau of Pancake Flats and the numerous runs—such as Powell Run and Fallentimber Run—illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Allegheny Front.
