1959 Map of Lecontes Mills

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

West Branch Susquehanna River carves a dramatic serpentine path through this landscape, defining the industrial and social development of Clearfield County. By the late 1950s, the area shows a complex layers of use, from the traditional agricultural and timber settlements like Lecontes Mills and Gillingham to the heavy industrial footprint of numerous Strip Mines. The Conrail line follows the river's tight bends, passing through the Shawville Tunnel to service the region's energy needs. Local life is anchored by dispersed rural landmarks, including the Township Sch and several country churches like Egypt Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. The inclusion of a Drive-in Theater and the Airway Beacon near Bishtown reflects mid-century modernizations reaching into these river valleys, while older burial grounds like Shiloh Cem and Murray Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research.
