About this map

State College and the neighboring The Pennsylvania State University anchor the southeastern corner of this Central Pennsylvania landscape, showing the mid-century expansion of residential areas like Park Forest Village and Overlook Heights. The industrial and scientific character of the region is evident through specialized sites such as the Ionosphere Research Station and the State College Air Depot. The terrain is defined by the heavy ridges of Bald Eagle Mountain and Nittany Mountain, with the Bellefonte Central Railroad winding through the valleys to connect small settlements like Waddle and Scotia. In the more remote western reaches, The Barrens and State Game Lands No 176 provide a stark contrast to the growing university town. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of many family landmarks, including Henderson Cem and Grays Ch.
