1977 Map of Beech Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Beech Creek serves as the focal point of this 1970s orthophotoquad, which provides a high-altitude perspective on the agricultural and forested landscape of Clinton County. This specialized imagery, captured in 1977, reveals the precise geometry of field patterns and timber lines that standard topographic line maps often generalize. The long, straight ridge of Bald Eagle Mountain dominates the southern half of the sheet, creating a sharp boundary between the narrow valley settlements and the steep, wooded terrain. By viewing the literal ground cover of the era, researchers can identify specific farmstead layouts and land use transitions along the banks of Beech Creek that define the rural character of this Pennsylvania valley.
