1939 Map of Philipsburg

About this map

Moshannon Creek carves a deep path through this upland landscape, serving as the boundary between Clearfield and Centre counties. The area is defined by a dense network of industrial and rural sites, from the concentration of bituminous coal operations like the Rusnak Mine and various Strip Mines near Winburne and Lanse, to the old iron-working site at Martha Furnace. The railroad infrastructure is prominent, with the New York Central and Pennsylvania lines navigating the difficult terrain to serve the mines and towns of Philipsburg, South Philipsburg, and Hawk Run.
