changing due to technology,"
Boyd said. “The business philoso

The STREAM MAP
OF PENNSYLVANIA was completed
in 1965 after a thrily-year effort by
Howard Hlgbee, 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 impassible, 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
day."

The ABA Agricultural and Rur
al Bankers Committee has been
active in finding ways for rural
hanks to locate new sources of
lendable funds for rural economic
development and streamline the
lending process for guaranteed
loans for farmers and ranchers in
partnership with the United States
Department of Agriculture. The

only highly detailed map of its kind. ITiis 3 foot by 5 foot
