1967 Map of Beech Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bald Eagle Mountain and Lamar Mountain define the valley corridors of this 1967 survey, where industrial and agricultural life centers on the confluence of Beech Creek and Eagle Creek. The landscape is dominated by the newly formed Foster Joseph Sayers Lake and its corresponding Foster Joseph Sayers Dam, a massive infrastructure project that altered the local hydrology. Local commerce and transit are anchored by the Penn Central railroad, which services small settlements like Blanchard and Beech Creek. To the south, Lamar sits along the banks of Fishing Creek, featuring the Lamar National Fish Hatchery. The map documents a transition in land use, showing both the preservation within the Sproul State Forest and active extraction sites like the Gravel Pit and various Quarries scattered across the limestone valleys.
