About this map

Bellefonte anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where the landscape transitions from the developed valley floors into the steep ridges of Bald Eagle Mountain and Nittany Mtn. This area of Centre County is defined by the parallel orientation of the Little Nittany Valley and Nittany Valley, separated by the prominent Sand Ridge. The historical settlement pattern follows these lowlands, with communities like Mingoville, Zion, and Jacksonville situated along key transport corridors such as Nittany Valley Dr.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including the Lick Run Presbyterian Church Cem and the Old Curtin Cem near the banks of Bald Eagle Creek. The terrain is marked by numerous gaps and hollows, such as Curtin Gap and Diehls Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like Jacksonville Rd and N Eagle Valley Rd. These natural features emphasize the ridge-and-valley structure that has shaped the region's movement and growth.
