The following commentary was prepared by this site's Webmistress.
- The current land plat book, available from the
Clarion County Courthouse (Clarion, PA 16214), is an inexpensive and
excellent resource for tracing the present-day location of land.
- County and township road maps are available from
the County Road Superintendent, Clarion County Courthouse, Clarion,
PA 16214.
- Charles
Reeves, a professional cartographer whose hobby is genealogy and
history, designed some of the outstanding maps found on this site. He
recently wrote,
I have ordered the US Census files for all of the US. So,
I will be able to do any county in the U.S. with detailed street and
landmark info, if desired. I
did your Clarion Co. map from USGS data I downloaded, which doesn't
include attribute names (streets, landmarks, etc.).
Also, the USGS is uploading their 7.5
degree (1:24,000 scale) DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data to their
FTP site. I used the 1:100,000 data to generate the relief map
of TN. This means that I will be able to create much higher
resolution relief maps. I'm also looking at a program that will
automatically generate 3D terrain images from these data, as well
as fly-through QuickTime 3D movies.
Please contact Charles about your mapping needs --
your own research, books you're writing, family reunions, etc. His
work is outstanding, and his prices are extremely reasonable. He
can do maps of just about anything you want!
