About this map

Chest Creek carves a central path through this section of Clearfield County, anchoring a series of small settlements and rural homesteads. The borough of Westover sits at the southern reach of the creek, while Mahaffey and Ostend occupy the northern landscape. This 2019 survey documents a region deeply connected to its local heritage, evidenced by the high concentration of family and community burial grounds including Westover Cem, New Washington Cem, and La Jose Cem.

Upland from the creek valley, the small village of New Washington and the hamlet of Five Points suggest an enduring pattern of high-ground settlement. The landscape is intricately partitioned by numerous tributary runs, such as Snyder Run and Wilson Run, which define the local topography. For those tracking family roots, the map provides precise locations for landmark rural congregations like Mount Joy Ch and older cemeteries like Dunkard Cem, preserving the layout of these Pennsylvania communities in the early 21st century.
