About this map

Clearfield Creek winds through a landscape defined by its industrial and social hubs at the end of the Second World War. The area is heavily marked by the parallel infrastructure of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, which served numerous small mining and timbering communities. Significant local hubs like Madera and Ramey are shown in detail, alongside smaller junctions such as Banian Junction and Hegarty Crossroads.

Genealogists can find specific family and community landmarks, including the Manor Hill Sch, Calvary Cem, and the Janesville Smithmill P O. The topography reveals a series of narrow valleys carved by runs like Muddy Run and Lost Run, where settlements such as Smoke Run and Belsena found footing. This survey captures a specific network of post offices and rural schools before the post-war consolidation altered the region's rural character.
