About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River defines the geography of this mid-century Clinton County landscape, where the waters converge near Great Island. The industrial and residential core of Lock Haven and neighboring Flemington are detailed alongside essential infrastructure like the Piper Memorial Airport and the Conrail line. North of the river, the terrain rises sharply toward Woodward Mountain and the expansive reaches of the Sproul State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest.

Local history is preserved in the numerous community institutions shown, including several parochial schools such as St Agnes Sch and Immaculate Conception Sch. The map records smaller peripheral settlements like Swissdale and Woolrich, while capturing the rural character of the uplands through features like Ram Hollow Reservoir and several scattered claypits, reflecting the area's geological and industrial heritage before modern expansion changed the outskirts.
