1959 Map of Mahaffey

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River snakes through the deep valleys of Clearfield County, anchoring a landscape defined by small river settlements and active extractive industries. In Mahaffey, the river meets a tight cluster of activity including a Conrail line and the Camp Meeting Grounds. This mid-century view shows the area during a period of transition, where established rural communities like Walltown and Irishtown sit adjacent to extensive strip mines and underground workings that carve into the ridges.
