About this map

Mining operations and remote camps dominate this landscape along the border of Clinton and Centre counties. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the industrial character of the era, centered around the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania and coal extraction sites like Mine No 22 and Mine No 25. Settlements such as Snow Shoe and Clarence Snow Shoe Sta serve as the primary hubs, while smaller rural nodes like Gillintown and Sunday Corners are supported by local institutions including Cherry Run Sch and Poorman Side Sch.

The northern terrain is defined by the winding course of the West Branch Susquehanna River, where a network of seasonal and sportsmen's retreats such as Walnut Bottom Camp and Boiling Spring Camp line the deep valleys. The transition from industrial rail corridors in the south to the primitive road networks like Dutlinger Road and Panther Road in the north highlights the distinct divide between the area's resource-driven economy and its function as a wilderness preserve.
