1945 Map of Wallaceton

About this map

The ridge-and-valley terrain of central Clearfield County is defined here by the industrial presence of the Penn Central railroad and a network of small coal-era settlements. Wallaceton serves as a central hub, while smaller locales like Blue Ball West Decatur P O and Bigler are linked by rail and roadway. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, documented through its numerous country institutions, including Salem Ch, Center Hill Ch, and local schoolhouses like Eagle Eye Sch and the Ohio Sch.
