About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River curves dramatically through this Clinton County landscape, anchoring the industrial and educational center of Lock Haven. During this mid-century period, the town is shown in transition, with Penn Central rail lines and the remnants of the Bald Eagle Canal tracing the valley floor. The map highlights the town's institutional footprint, from the riverside campus of Lock Haven State College to the Piper Memorial Airport and several parochial institutions like Immaculate Conception Sch.

To the north, the terrain rises sharply into Woodward Mountain and the extensive wooded reaches of Sproul State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest. Rural life is marked by scattered settlements like Swissdale and the presence of numerous family and church burial grounds, including Highland Cem and Beth Yehuda Cem. The landscape also reveals active industrial sites such as Claypits and Industrial Waste Ponds near the river bend.
