2019 Map of Sandy Ridge

About this map

Sandy Ridge and Glass City sit at the intersection of a complex valley system where the Clearfield and Centre County line divides the landscape. This 2019 survey illustrates a highland region defined by deep drainage patterns and named hollows like Crowns Nest Hollow and Seven Springs Hollow. The hydrology is particularly prominent, centered on the Philipsburg Reservoir and various tributaries such as Cold Stream and Tomtit Run that carve through Horseback Ridge. To the southeast, the landscape transitions into steep, narrow corridors like Fowler Hollow and California Hollow. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Mount Pleasant Cemetery and historical thoroughfares like the Old Tyrone Pike and Hannah Furnace Road, which point to the area’s early industrial and transport roots within Rush Township.
