1959 Map of Frenchville

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River cuts a deep, winding path through this Clearfield County landscape, separating the townships of Girard and Covington to the north from Graham and Cooper to the south. In the late 1950s, this region was defined by a mix of established highland settlements and active resource extraction. The New York Central railroad follows the tight river bends, serving a terrain dotted with several Strip Mine operations. Significant for genealogists are the numerous small communities such as Frenchville, Keewaydin, and the distinct Guenot Settlement. Local landmarks like St Johns Ch, Sylvan Grove Ch, and the Ames Landing Field near Kylertown anchor the map's rural character, while smaller hamlets like Rolling Stone and Palestine reflect the distributed nature of the area's mid-century population.
