1945 Map of Wallaceton

About this map

Wallaceton sits at the heart of this Clearfield County survey, where the Penn Central rail lines weave through the valleys of Boggs and Decatur townships. The landscape is defined by its industrial and community infrastructure as it appeared during the post-war era, with subsequent 1969 revisions highlighting the growth of Strip Mine operations. Small settlements such as Bigler, Woodland, and Blue Ball West Decatur PO are connected by a network of rural roads that also link numerous local institutions. The mapping reveals a high density of rural education and worship sites, including the Eagle Eye Sch, New Castle Sch, and Salem Ch. Extensive drainage systems like Roaring Run and Little Laurel Run illustrate the complex hydrology of this coal-bearing region, which supported both timber and mining interests throughout the mid-20th century.
