1960 Map of Snow Shoe NE

About this map

Sproul State Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Clinton and Centre Counties, defined by a dense network of hunting camps and wilderness outposts. In the early 1960s, the area remained a prime destination for outdoor recreation and forestry, featuring named locations such as Ralpton Camp, Camp Big Horn, and the Bald Hill Hunting Club. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Fish Dam Run and Eddy Lick Run, which flow through steep hollows. While largely preserved for conservation, industrial footprints appear in the form of a Strip Mine and the Jews Pipeline. A Lookout Tower on Shoemaker Ridge provided a high-ground vantage point for fire spotting, reflecting the mid-century management of these extensive Pennsylvania woodlands.
