1965 Map of Beavertown

About this map

Bald Eagle State Forest and the ridgelines of Jacks Mountain dominate the northern terrain of this Snyder County landscape, where deep valleys like Henstep Valley contrast with the settled agricultural corridors to the south. The transition from timbered heights to the valley floor is marked by small rural communities such as Troxelville and Benfer. Further south, the borough of Beavertown sits near the Penn Central rail line, which tracks through a landscape defined by Thomas Ridge and Firestone Ridge. Cultural landmarks like Manbeck Ch and Cedar Hill Cem are documented alongside industrial and recreational sites, including a Claypit and Cameron Airport. The presence of a Covered Bridge over Middle Creek near the State Game Lands No 188 highlights the traditional infrastructure that persisted into the mid-20th century.
