About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River cuts a deep, winding path through the southern half of this landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the valley communities of Mahaffey, Bower, and Bells Landing. The rugged topography of Clearfield County is evident in the dense network of drainage runs, including Curry Run and Bell Run, which have carved out the steep ridges defining the area's rural character.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Rock Springs Cem, Woods Cem, and the Saint Bonaventure Cem located near Walltown. The map illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of central Pennsylvania, where small clusters like Irishtown and Cherry Corner remain connected by a complex web of ridge roads and valley routes, tracing the historical development of these upland townships.
