About this map

Redbank Creek carves the northern border of this Armstrong and Clarion County terrain, where the dual settlements of South Bethlehem and New Bethlehem face one another across the water. The landscape is defined by the winding passage of Mahoning Creek as it flows toward the Mahoning Cr Lake reservoir, passing through small communities like Putneyville and Eddyville. This area has long supported rural industry and faith, evidenced by the presence of McCrea Furnace and numerous hilltop burial grounds that preserve local family histories.
