About this map

Sandy Ridge and Glass-City anchor the human geography of this 2016 survey, situated along the border of Clearfield and Centre counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and hollows, including Cabbage Hollow, Seven Springs Hollow, and the steep-sided California Hollow. To the north, the Philipsburg Reservoir is fed by Cold Stream, which flows through Pool Hollow and past the distinctive Horseback Ridge.

Transport and access are detailed through a mix of established roads like the Old Tyrone Pike and S Centre St, alongside specialized routes such as the Sandy Ridge Trl and Wind Turbine Ln. This modern topographic study reveals how the traditional naming of the land—evidenced by local landmarks like Crowns Nest Hollow and Tomtit Run—persists even as modern infrastructure, such as wind power facilities, begins to leave its mark on the ridgelines.
