About this map

Clearfield Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a network of small coal-era settlements and agricultural homesteads. The dense cluster of Irvona, Blain City, and Rosebud in the south illustrates the late-industrial development of Beccaria Township, where residential streets meet the water's edge. This area is characterized by numerous small watercourses like Potts Run and Hockenberry Run, which flow from named peaks such as Singleton Hill and Dickerman Hill.

Further north, the rural character is defined by dispersed hamlets including Gazzam, Ansonville, and Berwinsdale, connected by a web of local routes and township roads. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include Beccaria Mills and Dotts Hollow, providing specific points of interest for tracing family ties to the region’s timber and mining history. The presence of the Irvona Reservoir south of the main settlement highlights the infrastructure required to support these communities during the early 21st century.
