1968 Map of Coburn

About this map

The confluence of Elk Creek and Penn Creek forms the heart of Coburn, a village established at the foot of Penn Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, dominated by the Penn Central rail line and the historic presence of Trinity Ch and St Johns Ch. This survey illustrates the dense ridge-and-valley topography of central Pennsylvania, where steep terrain like Stillhouse Knob and Big Poe Mountain remains largely uninhabited and preserved within the Bald Eagle State Forest.
