1967 Map of Clearville

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Tussey Mountain and Warrior Ridge dominate this section of Bedford County, creating a series of narrow, parallel valleys defined by the ridge-and-valley Appalachians. Small farming settlements like Ott Town, Koontzville, and the village of Clearville are tucked into these drainages, connected by winding roads that follow the contours of the land. The presence of numerous country churches, including St Marks Ch and Union Ch, along with the Mann Monroe Sch, reflects a dispersed rural community structure common in Pennsylvania during the mid-20th century. The landscape is heavily wooded, much of it preserved within the Tussey Mountain State Game Lands No 97 and Buchanan State Forest. Interesting local hydronyms such as Milk and Water Creek and Bone Yard Hol suggest a deep-rooted naming tradition tied to the topography and early land use of the area.
