1959 Map of Frenchville

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Clearfield County, defining the local geography as it flows past Rolling Stone. In the late 1950s, the landscape was a mix of small agricultural hamlets and intensive resource extraction, characterized by numerous strip mines that appear across the higher elevations of Covington and Karthaus townships. Several clustered communities provide focal points for local history, including the Catholic influence at St Johns Ch near Keewaydin and the remote Guenot Settlement situated north of Rock Run. Transport through the river valley is anchored by the Conrail line, which follows the southern bank. Further south, the rural character of Graham and Cooper townships is marked by scattered schools, cemeteries, and churches such as Sylvan Grove Ch, serving the residents of Palestine, Hubler, and Kylertown.
