The STREAM MAP OF PENN
SYLVANIA was completed in 1965
after a thirty-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
painstakingly plotted by hand, the
location 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 a
landfill.
The few remaining dog-eared
copies became a prized fisher
man's possession. Professor
Higbee was offered $4OO (or one
of his last maps. And slate
agencies were forced to keep their
copies under lock and key.
Experts 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
