About this map

Mahaffey and its neighboring hamlets follow the winding path of the West Branch Susquehanna River as it cuts through the high plateaus of Clearfield County. This 2016 survey shows the river’s dominance over the local geography, anchoring small clusters of settlement such as Bower and Middleton along the southern banks. The map reveals a landscape defined by its transition from river-bottom communities to higher ridges, where names like Irishtown and Walltown mark long-established upland homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural burial grounds, including Saint Bonaventure Cem and Woods Cem in the northeast corner, and Rock Springs Cem further west. The intricate network of township roads, such as Splash Dam Rd and Kings Hwy, suggests the area's legacy of timber and land management. From Bells Landing down to Curry Run, the map documents a quiet rural corridor where small-scale agriculture and forest land meet the river's edge.
