About this map

Nittany Mountain and a series of parallel ridges define the landscape of this central Pennsylvania region during the late 1930s. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys, with Millheim and Aaronsburg serving as primary hubs along State Route No. 45. This era shows a transition in land use, as former industrial sites like the Sawmill near Ingleby give way to conservation and recreation efforts within the Bald Eagle State Forest.

Local infrastructure is represented by a network of rural institutions, including the Wolfs Chapel and numerous small schoolhouses such as Pine Creek Sch and Luse Sch. The Lewisburg & Tyrone RR follows the winding course of Penns Creek through the mountains, providing a vital transport link through the gaps. Natural landmarks like Woodward Cave and the Joyce Kilmer Monument highlight the early 20th-century character of the area as a destination for both locals and travelers.
