About this map

Clearfield Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a deep valley that dictates the placement of crossroads and settlements. The waterway is joined by numerous tributaries like Little Clearfield Creek and Wallace Run, creating a dissected terrain where small communities like Glen Richey and Oshanter sit on high ground above the creek bends. The northern edge is defined by the West Branch Susquehanna River, where the Hyde area transitions into the steeper slopes of the Clover Hill region.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous upland cemeteries, including Thompson Cem and Pine Grove Bethel Cem. The road network often follows ancient alignments, such as the Old Erie Pike, while the David S. Ammerman Trl utilizes a former rail corridor through The Narrows. This modern survey reveals a landscape of enduring rural settlements like Sanborn and Kellytown, where current land use still follows the contours of the coal and timber country established over a century ago.
