About this map

Bald Eagle Creek and the Allison Canal define the northern valley corridor of this Clinton County landscape, where the borough of Mill Hall serves as a focal point for industry and transport. The Pennsylvania New York Central railroad tracks parallel the water, connecting the established neighborhoods of Flemington and Draketown with the agricultural stretches of the Nittany Valley. The terrain is dominated by the steep ascent of Bald Eagle Mountain, which separates the northern valley from the Lamar Valley and the expansive Bald Eagle State Forest.

Genealogists will find numerous small settlements and rural landmarks, such as the Cedar Hill Cem near Cedar Springs and the St Pauls Ch in the southern reaches of Logan Mills. The presence of an Airway Beacon on the mountain ridge and a Drive-in Theater near Mill Hall reflects the mid-century infrastructure of the 1960s, while the historic Axe Factory Hollow hints at earlier local manufacturing traditions.
