The STREAM MAP OF OHIO resembles another map-known to Pennsylvania anglers as the “Lost Stream Map.” The “Stream Map ot 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 pnnted 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.
