About this map

Bald Eagle Creek serves as the central artery of this landscape, flowing northeast past the historic borough of Port Matilda and the settlement of Hannah. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from the creek’s drainage basin into the high, wooded ridges of the Allegheny Front. The industrial heritage of Centre County is evident in the presence of Martha Furnace near the eastern edge of the sheet, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Brown Cemetery and Friends Cemetery.

The topography is defined by a series of narrow valleys and ridges, including Halfmoon Valley and numerous named hollows such as Wills Hollow and Blue Springs Hollow. Small crossroads and residential developments like Stormstown and Centennial provide a look at the modern settlement patterns in this part of the state, positioned between the forested reaches of Wolf Rocks and the winding course of Halfmoon Creek.
