About this map

Irvona and the adjacent community of Coalport anchor the southern reaches of this Clearfield County survey, where Clearfield Creek winds through a landscape defined by its mining and rural heritage. The map documents a dense network of small settlements such as Berwinsdale, Ansonville, and Gazzam, many of which grew around the regional coal industry. Local genealogy is well-served by numerous detailed landmarks, including Saint Michaels Cem and Saint Pauls Cem near the town centers, as well as more secluded sites like McPherron Church Cem and Zion Cem.

Evidence of the area's industrial character is visible along Coal Strip Mine Site Rd, while the topography is punctuated by prominent features such as Singleton Hill and Dotts Hollow. The drainage pattern is complex, with numerous runs like McNeel Run and Potts Run feeding the larger creek system. Further north, smaller hamlets like Bretonville and Carnwath illustrate the dispersed nature of early 21st-century Appalachian settlement patterns.
