2019 Map of Bellefonte

About this map

Bellefonte serves as the focal point of this central Pennsylvania study, showcasing its status as a civic hub with the Centre County Courthouse situated at its heart. The landscape is defined by the significant convergence of Bald Eagle Creek and Spring Creek, watercourses that shaped the development of surrounding communities like Milesburg and Unionville. This 2019 survey captures the modern extent of residential areas such as Bush Addition, Park View Heights, and Pleasant View, while maintaining a record of the region's deep historical roots through a high density of burial sites. Notable for genealogists are Friends Cem Alexander Farm, the Saint John's Episcopal Church Columbarium, and the Rodef Shalom Cem. The map illustrates the varied terrain of Nittany Valley, bounded by the prominent ridge of Bald Eagle Mountain, where local transport networks including the Bellefonte Airport and winding mountain roads like Snow Shoe Mountain Rd connect the valley's disparate settlements.
