1967 Map of Howard

About this map

Beech Creek snakes through the northern reaches of this late 1960s landscape, marking the boundary between Sproul State Forest and the township of Curtin. The map reveals a region defined by its narrow valley floors and forested ridges, where small settlements like Orviston and Romola are connected by rural routes such as Romola Road. The southeastern corner is dominated by the rising waters of the Eagle Creek Reservoir, a massive infrastructure project by the U.S. Corps of Engineers that fundamentally altered the local drainage patterns near Howard.
