About this map

Bald Eagle Mountain and the expansive The Barrens terrain of State Game Lands No 176 dominate the central geography of this Centre County landscape. The early 1960s survey illustrates a region in transition, where the established borough of State College begins its suburban expansion into neighborhoods like Park Forest Village and Woodycrest. A distinct history of science and industry is evident in the presence of the Ionosphere Research Station and the State College Air Depot.

Smaller hamlets and agricultural settlements such as Waddle, Matternville, and Buffalo Run follow the valley floors, while numerous family-named burial grounds like Henderson Cem and Williams Cem provide critical touchpoints for genealogists. The map also traces the legacy of local transport, from the active Conrail line along Bald Eagle Creek to the remnants of the Old Railroad Grade passing through Scotia.
