About this map

Lock Haven and Jersey Shore anchor this 1921 survey, illustrating a dense network of river-valley industry and upland agriculture in Clinton County. The West Branch Susquehanna River serves as the primary corridor, flanked by the competing tracks of the New York Central Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. These rails connect industrial points like the woolen mills of Woolrich and the manufacturing centers at Mill Hall and Castanea.

Education and community landmarks are exceptionally well-recorded, from the State Normal School in the valley to remote mountain schoolhouses like Ferguson School and Royer School. Between the ridges of Bald Eagle Mountain and Sugar Valley Mtn, the map reveals a landscape of limestone springs and scattered rural settlements such as Loganton and Booneville. The inclusion of Great Island at the confluence of the river and Bald Eagle Creek highlights a key geographical landmark of the region's early navigation history.
