LOST STREAM MAP The STREAM MAP OF PENNSYLVANIA was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor. 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 years of work to a landfill. Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non photographic blue. The few remaining copies became prized fisherman’s possessions, known to some as the “Lost Stream Map" Higbee was offered $4OO for one of his last maps Then, in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbee's dream came true Karl logs and Larry Seaman of Vivid Publishing, Inc, a Williamsport firm, found new technology that enabled them to reproduce and republish the map. Howard said, "I never thought I'd live to see this day." Before his death In 1993, Professor Htgbee shared his knowledge of map making with Seaman and logs, and supported the creation of new state stream maps. Stream maps now cover 18 states; New York, Michigan, Ohio, Maryland-Delaware, New Jersey, Northern California, Washington, Colorado, Wisconsin, Virginia, Missoun and 5 New England States. All 50 stales will be available by the end of 2003. National Organization of Poll-ette’s Founders Schol arship winners pictured left to right: Emilie Miller and Nick Alexander.
