1945 Map of Ramey

About this map

Clearfield Creek winds through this central Pennsylvania landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a region defined by its industrial and coal-mining history. This 1945 map reveals the tight integration of rail and settlement, as the Conrail line follows the narrow valleys to serve mining hubs like Madera and Smoke Run. The geography of the era is marked by numerous small, named communities including Hegarty Crossroads, Ginter, and New London, many of which were built around active extraction sites that are now labeled abandoned.
