About this map

Mahoning Creek and its many tributaries carve a path through this section of the Allegheny Plateau, where the borders of Jefferson, Clearfield, and Indiana counties meet. In the northwest, the borough of Big Run serves as a local hub along the East Branch Mahoning Creek, while the Punxsutawney Reservoir dominates the central drainage of Clover Run. The landscape is a network of small, scattered settlements such as Bowersville, Hillman, and Sidney, many of which developed around the local watercourses and early road networks like Pike Rd and Whiskey Run Rd.

On the eastern edge, the topography shifts toward the West Branch Susquehanna River, which flows past McGees Mills. Genealogists will find the locations of McClure Cem and Bowers Cem useful for tracing early families in the region. The map reveals a rural economy organized around the numerous runs and hollows, including Frantz Hollow and Stony Run, which have historically defined the movement and settlement patterns of this three-county corner.
