1959 Map of Frenchville

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River winds deeply through the center of this Clearfield County landscape, where the Conrail line follows the northern bank past landmarks like Rolling Stone. Settlement patterns here reflect a mix of plateau farming and industrial extraction, with numerous strip mines appearing in later updates across the northern and southern ridges. To the north, the community of Frenchville sits near Sandy Creek, while Keewaydin and Guenot Settlement anchor the northeastern sections. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of central Pennsylvania, highlighting small religious centers like St Johns Ch and Sylvan Grove Ch. Waterways such as Alder Run, Mowry Run, and Grimes Run drain the steep hillsides, defining the boundaries for the townships of Girard, Covington, and Graham.
