About this map

Snow Shoe and the neighboring community of Clarence anchor this part of Centre County, where the topography is defined by the complex drainage systems of North Fork Beech Cr and South Fork Beech Cr. The landscape is a mix of small settlements and hunting camps like Chambers Camp and Beauty Camp, connected by a network of rural roads such as State Line Rd and Poormanside Rd.

A notable landmark is the Snow Shoe Fire Tower situated on Tower Hill, overseeing a region characterized by specialized place names like Old Side, Poorman Side, and Musellmans Crossing. The influence of local industry and water management is evident in the presence of Snow Shoe Reservoir and the Beech Creek Lodge. This survey provides a look at the interplay between established towns and the seasonal camp life typical of the Pennsylvania highlands in the early 21st century.
