About this map

The settlement of McClure sits at the intersection of Route 522 and Pa-235, serving as a central point in this landscape of ridges and gaps. To the north, the drainage of S Br Middle Cr defines the valley near Bannerville and Lowell, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the steep terrain of Slim Valley Ridge and Black Oak Ridge. Historical transit routes like Stage Rd and Old Stage Rd parallel modern highways, tracing the traditional paths through the gaps in the mountains.

Industrial and local history is anchored by Raubs Mills on Beaver Cr and the small aviation hub at Snook Airport. The map also captures the distinct gaps that allowed for movement through the otherwise formidable terrain, such as Lost Creek Gap, Tennis Gap, and McCahan Gap. In the southeast, McAlisterville marks the junction of Pa-35 and Pa-235, highlighting the area's role as a regional crossroads for the surrounding farming and milling communities.
