1961 Map of Coalport

About this map

Glendale Lake serves as the central focal point of this survey, its complex shoreline winding through the heart of Prince Gallitzin State Park. The landscape is a study in the intersection of public conservation and industrial extraction, with large tracts of State Game Lands No 120 and State Game Lands No 108 surrounding active strip mines and a borrow pit. The town of Coalport and neighboring Lyleville sit at the northern edge, where the Penn Central railroad follows the valley of Clearfield Creek. Historically significant local travel points such as Longs Crossroad and Nagles Crossroad reveal the established rural road network, while the presence of the Glendale Dam spillway highlights the engineering that reshaped this portion of the Beccaria and Reade townships.
