About this map

Bald Eagle Mountain looms over a valley defined by the winding course of Bald Eagle Creek and the expansive Foster Joseph Sayers Dam. This landscape in Clinton County illustrates the 21st-century interface of rural settlements and modern infrastructure, where the community of Beech Creek serves as a central hub. The map detail reflects the region's agricultural and industrial roots, following the paths of Jacksonville Rd and Browns Hill Rd as they connect smaller hamlets like Abdera, Parvin, and Clintondale.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several family-linked landmarks and burial grounds, including Hays-Fearon Cemetery, Brown Cemetery, and Clark Cemetery. The terrain is marked by significant gaps, such as Beech Creek Gap and Eagleville Gap, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and railways through the ridge-and-valley province. Features like Lamar Camp and the Beech Creek Tower highlight localized points of interest along the creek's drainage basin.
