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.
