About this map

Curwensville Lake and the Curwensville Dam dominate the central geography of this Clearfield County region, illustrating how modern flood control has reshaped the valley of the West Branch Susquehanna River. The map details the complex of settlements that historically relied on these waterways, including Curwensville, Bridgeport, and Lumber City. Higher elevations are marked by unique geological formations like Bilger Rocks near Chestnut Ridge.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its density of rural burial sites and legacy infrastructure. Small family and community grounds such as McClure Cemetery, Ferguson Cemetery, and Snyder Cemetery are precisely located alongside the path of the West Branch Susquehanna River. Transportation history is evident in the inclusion of the Hoyt Tunnel and Friendship Tunnel, as well as the numerous small runs like Anderson Creek and Bilger Run that once fueled local industry.
