1945 Map of Wallaceton

About this map

Woodland and Bigler anchor the northern landscape of this mid-century Clearfield County survey, where the region’s coal and industrial heritage is written into the terrain. The network of winding runs, including Roaring Run and Moravian Run, cuts through the upland plateaus of Boggs and Decatur townships. Distinctive local landmarks like the Salem Ch and Eagle Eye Sch offer a glimpse into the community life of small mining and agricultural settlements. The central corridor is dominated by the borough of Wallaceton and the uniquely named Blue Ball West Decatur P O, where rail lines and local roads intersect to service the surrounding valleys. Genealogists and researchers can trace the placement of rural institutions such as the Ohio Sch and New Castle Sch, which served families in outlying areas like Spring Valley and Newtown.
