About this map

Sarah Furnace and the industrial remnants of southern Clarion County define this landscape, where the Allegheny River carves a deep bend around Bald Eagle Island. The 1963 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, highlights a region deeply shaped by extraction and milling. Extensive Strip Mine activity is visible throughout Toby and Madison townships, contrasted by the quiet locations of Kissingers Mill on Catfish Run and the Blue Goose Mine near Bela.

Settlement patterns follow the high ridges and creek valleys, from the established borough of Rimersburg to smaller locales like New Athens and Huey. Transportation is anchored by the Conrail line tracing the river's edge and the winding paths of Licking Creek and Cherry Run. For genealogists, the map preserves specific local landmarks such as Concord Ch and Robinson Cem, providing a detailed spatial record of the county's rural communities during the mid-twentieth century.
