1998 Map of Bear Knob

About this map

The sharp ridge of Bald Eagle Mountain and the winding course of Eagle Creek dominate the southeastern landscape of this Centre County quadrangle. Near the foot of the mountain, the community of Unionville sits as a primary settlement, complemented by local landmarks like Oak Ridge Cem and Julian Cem. The terrain rises sharply to the north and west into the dense woodlands of Moshannon State Forest and State Game Lands No 103, where the topography is defined by high points like Bear Knob and Ganderstep Knob. Small rural institutions, such as Dicks Run Ch, are scattered along the narrow valley floors. Transportation history is visible in the transition from the Old RR Grade to established routes like the Julian Pike and Snow Shoe Road, while an Airway Beacon and several Radio Towers on the ridges signify the era's navigational infrastructure.
