The STREAM MAP OF OHIO resembles another map-known to Pennsylvania anglers as the “Lost Stream Map ” The “Stream Map of Pennsylvania” was completed in 1965 after a 30 year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor 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 by 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 bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee’s 30 years of work to the 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. 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 day ” Then, by combining Professor Higbee’s knowledge with computer technology - the STREAM MAP OF OHIO was created Stream Maps of Pennsylvania, New York New England, New Jersey, Ohio, & Maiyland/Delaware The First and Only Highly Detailed Map of Its Kind The 3-foot-by-5-foot color map shows virtually all of the 45,000 miles of Pennsylvania streams plus lakes The 3 l/2-foot-by-4 l/2-foot color map shows virtually all of the 65,000 miles of New York streams plus lakes The 3-foot-by-4-foot color map shows virtually all of the 36,000 miles of New England streams plus lakes The 2 l/2-foot-by-3-foot color map shows virtually all ot the 8,300 miles of New Jersey streams plus lakes The 3- foot-by-3-foot color map shows virtually all of the 29,000 miles of Ohio streams plus lakes The 2-foot-by-3 I/2-foot color map shows virtually all of the 12,000 miles of Maryland/Delaware streams plus lakes Explorers’ Gu with Each M Pinpoint the best fishing in PA, NY, NE, NJ, MD/DE with these valuable guides Easily streams and lakes shown on the Si Map both alphabetically and geographn Your map and guidebook will take yoi the select fishing wati RAVE REVIEWS ‘‘lt is amazingly detailed and names some creeks in the Mohawk Valley that can’t even be found on topographic maps ’’ —John Pitarres, OBSERVER-DISPATCH, Utica “If you're looking for the most definitive maps ever created depicting every single creek, river, stream, pond and lake then ‘Professor Higbee's Stream Maps’ are without question the finest ” —Howard Brant, THE NEWARK STAR-LEDGER “It is in showing where to find out-of-the-way trout streams that makes the map such a treasure to the fisherman ” Joe Gordon, TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT, Johnstown Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 1,2003-B5 30 West Snyder FFA’ers Enter State Record Book CDE BEAVER SPRINGS (Snyder Co.)
