1944 Map of Glen Richey

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Clearfield Creek meanders deeply through the center of this 1944 survey, shaping a landscape defined by sharp ridges and narrow valleys in Clearfield County. The winding waterway dictates the location of early industry and transport, with the B & O railroad following the tight bends of the creek and its tributaries like Little Clearfield Creek. Settlement is concentrated in small communities such as Glen Richey, Oshanter, and Faunce, where local life centered around a network of rural schoolhouses and churches. From the Turkey Hill Sch in the west to the Jeffries Sch in the east, the map documents a mid-century rural infrastructure before modern consolidation. Notably, the northern edge features The Narrows along the West Branch Susquehanna River, a topographic bottleneck bridged at Porters Bridge near the Clearfield and Curwensville Country Club.
