2019 Map of Houtzdale

About this map

Osceola Mills and Houtzdale serve as the primary hubs in this section of Clearfield and Centre Counties, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Moshannon Cr. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors and higher ridges, with numerous small communities like Brisbin, Sterling, and West Moshannon clustered around the borough centers. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery locations, documenting many denominational and fraternal burial grounds such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Nativity of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Cem. South of the towns, the terrain transitions into a more forested upland, drained by Trout Run and Bear Run as they flow toward the Osceola Reservoir. The map illustrates a modern landscape still deeply influenced by its historical infrastructure, from the residential grids of Morann and Whiteside to the aviation footprint of Sankey Airport.
