About this map

Glendale Lake serves as the central focal point of this landscape, created by the Glendale Dam and surrounded by the extensive Prince Gallitzin State Park. The map captures a region defined by its conservation areas and industrial heritage, where State Game Lands No 120 and State Game Lands No 108 buffer the transition between the water and the surrounding hill country. Along the northern and eastern fringes, the footprint of the coal industry is evident through numerous Strip Mines and the Tipple near Coalport.

Communities like Flinton, Lyleville, and Fallentimber are connected by a network of rural roads and the Conrail rail line, which follows the winding course of Clearfield Creek. Genealogical interest is found in local landmarks such as Shelton Hill Cem and the rural intersections of Longs Crossroad and Nagles Crossroad, providing a clear view of the settlement patterns in the Clearfield and Reade townships during the early 1960s.
