1968 Map of Woodward

About this map

Woodward sits at the base of Winkelblech Mountain in this late 1960s study of Central Pennsylvania’s ridge-and-valley province. The landscape is defined by the steep, parallel rises of Brush Mountain, Hough Mountain, and Buffalo Mountain, most of which fall under the stewardship of the Bald Eagle State Forest. Movement through this high-relief terrain is dictated by a series of narrow passages, including Wolfs Store Gap and Winkelblech Gap, while the valley floors support small settlements like Livonia and Voneida. Drainage patterns are equally constrained by the geology, with Elk Creek and Pine Creek threading through the lowlands. Notable local landmarks like the Radio Tower Woodward and the curiously named Cinder Pile Spring provide specific points of reference for those tracing the development and land-use patterns of the Penns Valley region during this era.
