1967 Map of Lucinda

About this map

The Clarion River carves a deep valley through the southern portion of this region, providing a natural boundary for the townships of Highland, Paint, and Millcreek. Industry and geography are closely intertwined here, with numerous strip mines dotting the plateaus above the river and the Baltimore and Ohio line threading north through Lucinda and Snydersburg. A notable remnant of earlier 19th-century industry is the Iron Furnace (Ruins) located near Helen Furnace, signaling the area's history of iron production before the dominance of contemporary gas and coal extraction.
