About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River winds through the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, where the historic McGees Mills settlement and a noted Covered Bridge mark the landscape near an Old Railroad grade. This 1968 survey reveals a terrain defined by industry and conservation, with massive Strip Mine operations and later Reclaimed Strip Mine areas bordering protected territories like State Game Lands No 195 and State Game Lands No 174.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks across the Jefferson, Clearfield, and Indiana county lines, including McClure Cem, Bowers Cem, and country churches such as Mt Pleasant Ch and Otterbein Ch. Scattered settlements like Newtonburg, Big Run, and Sidney are connected by a network of runs, including Ugly Run, Bear Run, and Mahoning Creek, which served the region's extraction and timber economies.
