About this map

Eagleton Fields stands as a notable clearing in the dense high-plateau landscape of Clinton County, marking a site of human activity amidst a vast network of drainage basins. The area is defined by the headwaters of numerous runs and branches, including the North Fork Tangascootack Creek and Baker Run, which carve deep into the plateau through features like Conklin Hollow and Roger Hollow. This modern survey reveals a landscape largely dedicated to conservation and recreation, crisscrossed by extensive trail systems such as the Chuck Keiper Trl and the Beech Creek Snowmobile Trails Trl. Significant family-named landmarks like Shoemaker Ridge and the Dishpan Hollow provide context for earlier logging or settlement patterns. The presence of Bear Swamp in the southern reaches highlights the complex hydrology of this upland region, where naming conventions like Slaughtering Ground Rd hint at the area's long-standing hunting and wilderness heritage.
