About this map

Lock Haven serves as the industrial and educational center of this Clinton County corridor, defined by the confluence of Bald Eagle Creek and the West Branch Susquehanna River. The presence of the State Normal School and a dense network of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Pennsylvania New York Central Railroad lines illustrates the region's importance as a transportation hub in the early 1920s.

Beyond the river valleys, the landscape rises into the high elevations of Bald Eagle Mountain and Sugar Valley Mountain. Numerous rural landmarks are preserved here, from small hamlets like Salona and Mackeyville to isolated educational outposts such as Wayne School No 2 and Ferguson School. The map also captures the distinct agricultural character of the Nippenose Valley and Sugar Valley, where springs like Blue Spring and Kemmerer Spring supported early farmsteads.
