2016 Map of Westover

About this map

Chest Creek meanders through the heart of this Clearfield County landscape, carving a valley that anchors a series of small, historic communities. The settlement pattern here is tied closely to the waterway and the surrounding ridges, with Westover situated in the south and Mahaffey at the northern edge. Significant genealogical resources are scattered throughout the hills, including Mahaffey Cem, La Jose Cem, and Cross Cem, marking the heritage of the local population. Small hamlets like New Washington, Newburg, and Ostend are connected by a network of rural routes such as Five Points Rd and Sawmill Run Rd. The terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems like Snyder Run, Wilson Run, and Kings Run, which feed into the main creek. This topographic study captures the traditional rural character of central Pennsylvania, where legacy family names are often reflected in the local landmarks and small crossroads communities like Five Points and Harmony.
