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

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 ”
