About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River winds through this landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for several small Pennsylvania settlements. Riverfront hamlets such as Bells Landing, Bower, and Middleton reflect a historic reliance on the waterway for transportation and industry. The surrounding terrain is marked by numerous drainage runs, including Curry Run and Haslett Run, which descend toward the river valley through a network of rural roads that often bear the names of local families and early industry, such as Wall Farm Rd and Splash Dam Rd.

Family history researchers will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites and recreational grounds. The presence of Saint Bonaventure Cemetery, Rock Springs Cemetery, and Woods Cemetery provides key waypoints for genealogical study. Nearby, Camp Meeting Grounds and Camp Corbly suggest a long-standing tradition of community gathering and spiritual retreats in this corner of Clearfield County. Smaller interior settlements like Irishtown, Walltown, and Cherry Corner remain connected by long-established routes such as Irishtown Rd and Cherry Lane Rd.
