2016 Map of Lecontes Mills

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep, winding path through this central Pennsylvania landscape, anchoring a series of small, scattered settlements such as Croft, Surveyor, and Lecontes Mills. The terrain is defined by high ridges and hollows, where local life follows the drainages of Little Trout Run and Millstone Run. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of Clearfield County, with numerous small burial grounds like Shiloh Cem and Stewart Cem providing vital points of reference for genealogical research. To the south, the landscape transitions toward Mineral Springs and Bigler, while names like Gallows Harbor and Congress Hill hint at the local lore and political history of the township. The road network, including the Shawville-Eden Rd, connects these remote outposts to the river valley where industry and settlement once concentrated.
