About this map

Lock Haven serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated where the West Branch Susquehanna River meets Bald Eagle Creek. The map documents a mature riverfront landscape defined by its academic and industrial foundations, featuring Lock Haven State College and the Lock Haven Municipal Airport. The legacy of 19th-century transport is still visible through the trace of the Pennsylvania Canal and the N Y C Pennsylvania Aqueduct near Great Island.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain rises sharply toward Bald Eagle Mountain and Woodward Mountain. The sheet captures a variety of community landmarks, from the Swissdale Cem to the industrial Claypits in Colebrook. The northern reaches are largely dominated by the Sproul State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest, where the Old Coudersport Pike and a high-elevation Pipeline traverse the timbered ridges.
