2016 Map of Beech Creek

About this map

Bald Eagle Mountain dominates this portion of the Pennsylvania ridge-and-valley province, creating a formidable barrier between the Little Nittany Valley and the waters of Bald Eagle Creek. The settlement of Beech Creek serves as a focal point near the gap where the namesake stream joins the larger creek, while to the southwest, the Foster Joseph Sayers Lake reservoir reshapes the valley floor. The map documents a high density of named springs, including Washington Furnace Spring, Lamar Spring, and Crystal Spring, reflecting the region's complex karst hydrography and early industrial history.
