1967 Map of Howard NW

About this map

Sproul State Forest defines the rugged topography of this Pennsylvania landscape, where extractive industry and wilderness coexist during the late 1960s. The map reveals extensive Strip Mines in the southeast corner near Tangascootack Creek, a stark contrast to the dense drainage network of Beech Creek and Baker Run that carves through Shoemaker Ridge and Grugan. High-elevation clearings like Eagleton Fields suggest a history of upland activity, connected by primitive routes such as Eagleton Road and the ominous Slaughtering Ground trail.
