About this map

Glendale Lake serves as the central anchor of this landscape, dominated by the expansive Prince Gallitzin State Park and surrounding timberlands. Situated along the boundary of Clearfield County and Cambria County, the area showcases a transition from industrial activity to recreational conservation. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible in the reclaimed strip mine areas and the legacy of coal transport found at Coalport.

Infrastructure from an earlier era remains etched into the terrain, including an old railroad grade and the Blain Run Railroad. Small settlements and intersections like Lyleville, Flinton, and Nagles Crossroad provide touchpoints for local genealogy, while the winding course of Clearfield Creek and the heights of Snake Ridge define the local topography. This late-twentieth-century survey reflects a balance between historical industrial use and the preserved natural spaces of the State Game Lands.
