1959 Map of Luthersburg

About this map

The extractive and agricultural landscape of central Clearfield County is centered here on Luthersburg, a hub at the crossroads of several major regional routes. The map illustrates a complex industrial environment where traditional farming and early rail infrastructure meet the expanding post-war coal industry. Numerous Strip Mine operations and a Quarry are prominent features, particularly along the ridges such as Laurel Ridge and Coal Hill. The Baltimore And Ohio railroad winds through the terrain, serving transit points like Luthersburg Sta and Rockton Sta. To the north, the Du Bois Reservoir provides a substantial water feature, while the southern reaches show scattered rural communities like Chestnut Grove and Anderson. Local social life is anchored by traditional landmarks including St Johns Ch and St Peters Ch, alongside several cemeteries and schools that reflect the settlement patterns of the era.
