The STREAM MAP OF PENNSYLVANIA was completed in 1965 after a thnty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor The map is also known as the LOST STREAM MAP to some anglers. Professor Higbee succeeded in creating a map of the highest detail possible., a map that shows every stream and lake. He pains takingly plotted by hand, the loca tion of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 x 5 foot map. The map sold extremely well - until it was lost several years later. Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates declared bank ruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee's 30 years of work to the landfill. The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fisher man's possession. Professor Higbee was offered $4OO for one of his last maps. And state agen cies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key. The experts had always told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non photographic blue. Then, in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbee's dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map. Holding an updated map, Howard said, “I never thought I'd live to see this dav." County Farm Bureau ers have provided fresh, local fruit to the county farm bureau for vari ous functions and for gifts.
