About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Clearfield County, defining the local geography and settlement patterns. The landscape is characterized by high ridges and narrow valleys, where numerous small tributaries like Sandy Creek and Rolling Stone Run drain into the river. Historically, the area reflects a network of rural communities and church-centered settlements. In the northern reaches, Frenchville and Keewaydin serve as local hubs, while the Guenot Settlement stands as a distinct named locality further east.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds and religious sites scattered across the township, including Saint Mary of the Assumption Church and the Fairview United Methodist Cem. To the south, the village of Palestine and the residential cluster at Grassflat mark the transitions between the upland plateaus and the river valley, connected by a web of local roads like the Caledonia Pike.
