About this map

Falls Creek and the neighboring industrial grounds of Adrian Furnace sit at the junction of Jefferson and Clearfield Counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by narrow valleys and local infrastructure. This 2019 survey captures the developed corridor stretching toward Dubois, where residential neighborhoods meet the winding path of Sandy Lick Creek. The upland areas are marked by several small settlements including Beechtree, Rockdale, and Coal Glen, many of which grew around early resource extraction and rail lines that once traversed these ridges.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, such as Sugar Hill Cem, Beechtree Cem, and Beechwoods Cem, scattered across the plateau. The geography is defined by its water systems, from the recreational waters of Kyle Lake to the drainage of Little Toby Creek and Rattlesnake Run. The map provides a contemporary view of these established communities, illustrating how modern roads like Reynoldsville Falls Creek Rd connect these historically distinct mining and furnace towns.
