The STREAM MAP OF PENNSYLVANIA was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor, The map is known as the LOST STREAM MAP to some anglers. Professor Higbee succeed ed in creating a map of the high est 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 by 5 foot map. The map sold extremely well-untll it was lost several years later. Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original draw ing and printing plates declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee’s 30 years of work to a landfill. The few remaining dog eared copies became a prized fisherman’s possession. Professor Higbee was offered $4OO for one of his last maps. And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key. Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impos sible, because the maps were printed in non-photographlc blue. Then, in 1991, atthe age of 91, Howard higbee’s dream came true.-Computers made it ■ possible to reprint the map. Howard said, “I never thought I’d live to see this day."
