About this map

The ridge-and-valley province of Central Pennsylvania dominates this 1965 survey, defined by the convergence of the Tiadaghton State Forest and the Bald Eagle State Forest. The map captures a landscape of intense relief where massive parallel ridges, including Bald Eagle Mountain, Nittany Mountain, and Buffalo Mountain, hem in narrow corridors like Pine Flat. These highlands are drained by a complex network of waterways such as White Deer Creek and White Deer Run.

Resource management and forestry infrastructure are evident in the presence of the Spruce Run Reservoir and isolated landmarks like McKean Spring. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive peaks such as Shoemaker Knob, Potato Hill, and Long Knob. While largely uninhabited state forest land, the map traces early access routes like Limestone Road and Cooper Mill Rd, which followed the natural gaps and runs of the Lycoming and Union County border.
