2016 Map of Snow Shoe

About this map

The mountain settlements of Snow Shoe and Clarence define this 2016 landscape in Centre County, revealing a complex network of local roads and watercourses. The layout of the region is punctuated by distinct neighborhood divisions such as Poorman Side, Old Side, and the nearby hamlet of Gillintown. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Saint Michaels Cem, and Askey Cem, which are situated amidst the rugged topography of the Allegheny Front. The map traces the drainage of the Beech Creek watershed, featuring the N Fork Beech Cr and S Fork Beech Cr, along with the Snow Shoe Reservoir. To the north, the terrain rises toward Big Fork Hill and Little Fork Hill, where a labyrinth of logging and access roads like Wolf Run Supply and Little Wolf Run Ridge Rd crisscross the high ridges and hollows.
