2010 Map of Westover

About this map

Chest Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Clearfield County, anchoring a series of small riverside settlements including Mahaffey, Newburg, and Westover. The landscape is defined by the heavy dissection of numerous tributaries like Snyder Run and Kings Run, which separate the uplands where New Washington and Thompsontown are situated. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family-named burial grounds, including the Cross Cemetery in the northeast and the Mahaffey Cemetery to the north. A notable local landmark, the Mahaffey Racetrack, sits just outside the town, while the LaJose Post Office serves the community of Newburg. The road network, including the named Five Points Rd and Bethlehem Hill Rd, reflects a rural infrastructure built around the topography of the creek valley and its surrounding ridges.
