About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a sharp, serpentine path through the southern portion of this region, defining the borders between Clearfield, Centre, and Clinton counties. This landscape is a complex network of deeply incised drainages like Upper Three Runs, Birch Island Run, and Smoke Draft, where small settlements such as Pottersdale and Belford sit along the ridges and valley floors.

Traces of local industry are evident in the naming of the Old Strip Mine Trl and Strip Mining Rd south of Oak Hill, reflecting the area's history with resource extraction. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of Ganoe Cem near the center of the quadrangle. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Sammy Hill and the narrow descent of Panther Hollow, illustrating the difficult terrain that dictated the placement of early roads like Three Run Tower Rd and Pottersdale Rd.
