1923 Map of Howard

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves through this northern Pennsylvania landscape, providing a sharp industrial and topographic boundary between the northern plateaus and the organized valley floor. In the early twentieth century, the New York Central Pennsylvania Railroad tracked the river's path, serving communities like Beech Creek and Blanchard. The map reveals a dense network of local education and faith, with numerous country schools such as the Hubbard School and Frame School alongside the Laurel Run Church. The northern reaches of Grugan and Noyes are defined by intricate drainage systems like Eagleton Run and Tangascootack Creek, indicating a terrain heavily influenced by timber and natural resource extraction. This survey preserves the exact locations of many family-named landmarks and rural institutions that shaped the social fabric of Clinton and Centre Counties.
