1959 Map of Clearfield

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a path through this coal-rich landscape, where the borough of Clearfield serves as a dense industrial and rail hub. By the late 1950s, the surrounding hillsides were heavily defined by extensive strip mines, particularly in the townships of Goshen and Lawrence. This survey captures a community deeply integrated with its transportation networks, showing the convergence of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads alongside local landmarks like the Fairground and Clearfield Airport.
