2016 Map of Irvona

About this map

Irvona and Coalport anchor the southern reaches of this modern topographical survey, situated where the waters of Clearfield Creek wind through the hills of Beccaria Township. The landscape is defined by its deep connectivity to local history, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Saint Michaels Cem, Saint Basil Cem, and Spangle Cem. This area of Clearfield County maintains its established settlement patterns, from the northern hamlets of Gazzam and Ansonville down to Blain City. Topographical features like Singleton Hill and Dotts Hollow dominate the terrain between these communities, while the Irvona Reservoir provides a vital water resource south of McPherron. The map documents a contemporary view of these traditional Pennsylvania coal-region villages and the intricate network of runs, including Comfort Run and Raccoon Run, that drain the surrounding ridges.
