1927 Map of Clearville

About this map

South Mountain and Tussey Mountain dominate this corner of Bedford County, where deep ridges and narrow valleys dictated a pattern of small, scattered settlements during the late 1920s. Agriculture and local commerce are anchored at Clearville and Chaneysville, with the landscape dotted by family-named schools and community churches that served these upland farms. The terrain is marked by distinctive features like Stoney Lick and the steep slopes of Polish Mountain, while the Bedford-Fulton county line runs along the eastern reaches through Rays Hill.
