1965 Map of White Pine

About this map

White Pine and the surrounding high country of Cogan House township appear here as a patchwork of upland clearings and dense woods. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Larrys Creek and its many tributaries, such as Wendell Run and Buck Run, which have carved deep drainages into the plateau. In the mid-1960s, these small agricultural and timber-based communities maintained a quiet, rural character centered on local landmarks like Summit Ch and the Cogan House Sch. The map reveals the relationship between the rugged terrain and human settlement, with homesteads clustered in the flatter basins of Beech Grove and Steam Valley. Extensive woodland management is evident through the inclusion of State Game Lands No 75 and State Game Lands No 114, which border the dispersed settlements of Steuben and Buttonwood.
