About this map

The Jefferson Co and Clearfield Co border divides this 2016 survey, where the urban outskirts of Dubois meet the creek-cut valleys of Western Pennsylvania. The landscape is defined by its industrial and ecclesiastical roots, with significant settlements like Sykesville, Reynoldsville, and Troutville dotting the terrain. Many of these communities are anchored by extensive cemeteries such as Saint Catherine of Siena Cem and Saint Michael Cem, suggesting long-established parish histories.

The water network, including Sandy Lick Creek and Stump Creek, dictates the winding paths of local roads like W Liberty RD and Co RD 3054. Genealogists will find particular value in the distinctively named Assumption Cem Soldier Hill and Shaffer Memorial Cem, while the location of Helvetia and Rathmel illustrates the settlement patterns of this coal-rich region during the early twenty-first century.
