The Story of The Lost Stream Map
ABOUT PROFESSOR HIGBEE
Howard Higbee, who was a soils scientist and a Pennsylvania State University professor, personally charted and hand-drew Pennsylvania's 45,000 miles of streams on his map.
Starting with many large topographic maps and aerial photographs, he reduced them again and again, drawing in each stream under high magnification.
Then, to check distances, he modified his car's odometer to measure miles in 500ths.Finally, in 1965, after three decades of work, Higbee completed his "Stream Map of Pennsylvania," as it came to be known. Fisherman, conservationists, foresters, and others with a stake in the great outdoors all wanted copies.
