1923 Map of Howard

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River cuts through the northern reach of this landscape, defining a corridor of small settlements like Ferney and Hynerview. Further south, the terrain transitions into the parallel ridges of Bald Eagle Mountain, where the Pennsylvania railroad and the New York Central line navigate the lowlands around Beech Creek. This era of Central Pennsylvania history is marked by a high density of rural schoolhouses, including the Bitner School, Madden Run School, and Hubbard School, which served the scattered families living between the creek valleys and the high summits like Round Top.
