Caldwell's 1878 Clearfield County Illustrated Atlas

A reprint of the Clearfield County Atlas published by Caldwell in 1878. This publication is close to the original size of 14 by 17 inches and is printed on archival acid free paper for the enjoyment of future generations

It has everything the 1878 book contained. In addition, the approximately 35 blank pages in the 219 page original have been filled with additional maps, including Rumbarger, Cherry Tree, and 1843 Clearfield. Some pages have also been filled with photographs, documents such as the original Peter Karthaus deed, and a genealogy of the county and townships compiled by the Works Progress Administration in 1939.

The original volume has more than 100 sketches of county buildings: businesses, farms, schools, and homes. Perhaps your ancestors' properties are pictured. The reprint also includes the approximately 22 by 34 inch fold out maps of Clearfield, DuBois, and Houtzdale.

An important added feature is that the Atlas has been completely indexed to include every surname of property owners listed on all maps, people mentioned in the text and the business directories. The index also lists mills, banks, cemeteries, churches, schools, hotels, mines, roads, creeks, rivers, towns, villages, and places of interest.

This beautiful book will be appreciated by all. For anyone interested in county history, old buildings, or family history it is a must! This edition is copy writed and will never be published again. Only several copies remain.
