About this map

Glendale Lake dominates the central landscape of this survey, its winding shoreline and Glendale Dam spillway forming the centerpiece of Prince Gallitzin State Park. The surrounding Clearfield and Cambria county borderlands are characterized by extensive public acreage, including State Game Lands No 120 and State Game Lands No 108. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible in the scattered strip mines and a borrow pit located near the eastern ridges.

Settlement patterns follow the local valley floors and ridges, with Coalport serving as a primary hub alongside smaller communities like Lyleville, Flinton, and Fallentimber. Transportation is defined by the Conrail rail lines and rural junctions such as Longs Crossroad and Nagles Crossroad. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including Witmer Run, Beaverdam Run, and Slate Run, which have historically shaped the development of these coal-country townships.
