About this map

The Clarion River winds through the heart of this Pennsylvania landscape, carving a deep valley through the Allegheny National Forest and Clear Creek State Park. In the late 1960s, this region was defined by a dense network of extraction and conservation, where vast gas well fields neighbor protected woodlands. Small rural settlements like Sigel, Clarington, and Belltown serve as anchors for the local community, while landmarks such as Stahlman Roundtop and Beartown Rocks characterize the high ground between the river and its many tributaries, including Millstone Creek and Cathers Run.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Edeburn Ch, Mt Tabor Cem, and the Blue Ridge Cem. Industrial heritage is visible at the Heath Pumping Station along the river, as well as the numerous gas wells that dot the townships of Heath, Eldred, and Warsaw. The map also illustrates the convergence of Forest, Elk, and Jefferson counties in this heavily forested plateau.
