1959 Map of Beaver Springs

About this map

Beaver Springs and Beavertown anchor the northern landscape of this Central Pennsylvania survey, situated along the base of Firestone Ridge. The terrain is dominated by the massive corridor of Shade Mountain, which divides the northern creek valleys from the southern agrarian ridges. This forested expanse within the Bald Eagle State Forest is punctuated by several prominent gaps, including Shellenberger Gap and Ferster Gap, which historically served as vital passage points through the mountain barrier.
