About this map

The boundary between Jefferson and Clearfield counties runs through this upland landscape, where numerous mining-era settlements and religious landmarks cluster along the valley floors. In DuBois, a dense network of streets and cemeteries like Saint Catherine of Siena Cem and Rumbarger Cem reflect the city's historical growth at the confluence of Sandy Lick Creek and Pentz Run. To the southwest, the town of Sykesville sits nestled near Buck Run, notable for its diverse religious heritage as seen in the Holy Trinity Byzantine Catholic Cem and the Sykesville Memorial Cem.

Smaller hamlets like Soldier, Rathmel, and Troutville are connected by a web of rural routes such as Katzen Slaughterhouse Rd and Reeds Dam Rd. The topography is defined by significant rises like Soldier Hill and the winding paths of Stump Creek and Beaver Run. This survey offers a clear view of how local family and community identities remain preserved through sites like Davis Cem and Beulah Land Cem across the rural townships.
