2016 Map of Bellefonte

About this map

Bellefonte serves as the regional hub in this 2016 survey, anchored by its historic core and surrounded by established neighborhoods like Park View Heights and East End. The landscape is sharply defined by the presence of Bald Eagle Mountain and Trcziyulny Mtn, which funnel the waters of Spring Creek and Bald Eagle Creek through the valley. This geography historically dictated the placement of industry and transit, evident in the cluster of settlements including Milesburg, Unionville, and Coleville. Significant local landmarks include Bellefonte Airport and the trout-fishing waters of Fishermans Paradise. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Union Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Trcziyulny Cem. The map illustrates a modern community still oriented around the limestone-rich valleys and watercourses that first drew settlers to central Pennsylvania.
