About this map

The winding course of Clearfield Creek and the West Branch Susquehanna River anchor this central Pennsylvania landscape during the early 1990s. The terrain is characterized by high ridges like Clover Hill and narrow passages such as The Narrows, where infrastructure and industry follow the natural contours of the land. Evidence of the region’s coal mining history is visible in several Strip Mines and the presence of an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these extraction points to larger markets.

Small communities and rural settlements are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Glen Richey, Oshanter, and Kellytown. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous landmarks such as Crown Crest Memorial Park, Stoneville Cem, and the Evergreen Sch. The northern edge of the map shows the expansion of Clearfield near the Clearfield High School and Golf Course, illustrating the transition from industrial extraction to more modern civic developments.
