1921 Map of Lock Haven

About this map

Lock Haven serves as the focal point of this region, situated where the Susquehanna River West Branch meets Bald Eagle Creek. The settlement pattern in the early 1920s is defined by industrial and educational hubs, notably featuring the State Normal School and the rail corridors of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads. South of the river, the massive Bald Eagle Mountain separates the main valley from Sugar Valley, where smaller farming hamlets like Logan Mills and Booneville are nestled among a network of rural schools such as the Nippenose Red School. North of the Susquehanna, the Coudersport Pike winds through the hills toward Woolrich, an area dotted with numerous local landmarks including the Gravel Hill School and Liberty Church. The map provides an intricate look at the hydraulic and transport infrastructure of the era, from the Lock Haven Reservoir to the distinct river crossing at Lockport.
