About this map

Beech Creek defines the lower elevations of this Central Pennsylvania landscape, carving through a region where the Clinton and Centre County boundary meets. The settlement of Orviston sits in the northeast corner at the base of the ridges, connected to the western community of Kato by a network of logging and access roads including the Kato Orviston Rd. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, notably at the Hogback Tunnel and the southern feature known as Devils Elbow.

Remote settlements like Panther are surrounded by a dense system of seasonal runs and drainages, such as Eddy Lick Run and Three-Rock Run. Local infrastructure is characterized by specialized routes like the Logway Run Trl and Marsh Creek Trl, which reflect the area's history of timber and resource management. The map also captures several family-named or descriptive roads, including Steen Mill Rd and Little Marsh Creek Rd, documenting the rural road network as it existed in 2016.
