About this map

Howard and Orviston anchor this 2010 survey of Centre County, where the landscape is defined by the significant waterways of Beech Creek and Bold Eagle Creek. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the waters and recreational lands of Bald Eagle State Park, showing the modern footprint of conservation and public land use in the region. The topography is deeply etched by numerous named hollows, including Tar Kill Hollow, Canoe Hollow, and Pole Bridge Hollow, suggesting a history of specialized local activity and timber management.

Local history is preserved in the location of Schencks Cemetery near the reservoir and the rural crossroads of Romola. The map traces a network of backroads such as Furnace Hollow Rd and Sawmill Rd, which hint at the earlier industrial character of these valleys. From the mountain ridges like Beech Creek Mountain Rd to the secluded Sylvan Hills Camp, the area remains a blend of small settlements and vast natural corridors.
