1929 Map of Centre Hall

About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of central Pennsylvania is captured here in the mid-1920s, dominated by the long parallel runs of Nittany Mountain and Brush Mountain. At the heart of the valley floor, Centre Hall and Old Fort serve as hubs for a dense network of rural schools and family-named landmarks. The map documents an era of small-scale water-powered industry and unique geological features, notably the Penn Cave and mill sites like Farmers Mills and Red Mill situated along the winding paths of Sinking Creek.
