MG-128 TREZIMLNY FAMILY PAPERS, 1758-1900 and n.d. 15 CUBIC FEET IN 22 BOXES and 13 OVERSIZED FOLDERS Charles Treziyulny (also spelled Trcziyulny) (1757-1858) emigrated from Poland in 1791 to become an early settler of Philipsburg, Centre County. He was Clearfield County's Surveyor, an engineer, one of the first canal commissioners of Pennsylvania (in 1824) and an advocate of river improvement in preference to canals. He was elected justice of the peace in 1805 and served as post master of Centre County from 1832-1841. With help from a Mr. Behe he laid out Mo-Shan-Non town and, later, Philipsburg in 1794. In 1814 he was one of three commissioners appointed to divide ~ush Township into Rush and Bald Eagle Townships. With his wife Catherine (1778-1858) he had three sons: Henry P., who is discussed in the next paragraph; Hyacinth B., (?-1862) who was street commissioner of Bellefonte and superintendent of the water-works when he died; and Joseph F.P. "Frank", who died at the Battle of Fredericksburg on 12/13/1862. Henry P. (1800-1878) was appointed Deputy Surveyor of Centre County from 1854-1856, 1863-1866 and 1866-1868. He was also a justice of the peace from 1864-1868 and 1874-1877. In February 1859 he was appointed with two other commissioners to run a boundary line between Union and Centre Counties. In 1869-1870 he surveyed urns side and part of Snow Shoe Townships with other surveyors. In November 1857 he was appointed with two others to view Curtin Township so it could be incorporated. In January 1849 ne and two other were appointed to view and report on the township organizarrion of ~oggs township.* Both Charles and Henry P. Treziyulny surveyed many counties and townships of central Pennsylvania, most of which became, or at one time were, within the ever changing boundary lines of Centre County. Their own correspondence, field notes and surveys and collected copies of surveys and maps created by other surveyors, are an excellent source of information on early central Pennsylvania, particularly Centre count:^. *The above information comes from the Historv of Centre and Clinton Counties, Pennsvlvania by John Blair Linn, 1883. Arrangement: The Treziyulnv Familv Pa~ersare organized into Charles S. Treziyulnv; Henw P. Trezivulnv; Henw P. Trezivulnv-Familv; Charles S. or Henry P. Trezivulnv (papers which probably belonged to both and have no identifying signatures on them); and, lastly, Trezivulnv Surveys. Zxcept for the Surveys all the other subgroups are organized alphabetically by type of record, then chronologically within each folder with the undated (n.d.) papers filed at the rear of the appropriat? folder. The ~rezivulnvSurvevs are organized into several subgroups: by Countv and ~ownshi~Names, Multiple Countv Names, No COuntv or Townshin Names, River Views, Road Views, Other Maps, Miscellaneous Countv Survevs and Blank Survevs . Countv and Township Survevs are filed alphabetically by county, then alphabetically by township within each county, then alphabetically by surnames of property owners, then by surveys of multiple plots with names, then those with no names. Multiple Countv Names Survevs are also filed alphabetically by counties and townships names, ex. Center and Mifflin Counties, Bald Eagle Township. ~ost of the surveys are of multiple plots so they are not further sub-divided and filed by surnames. No Countv or Township Names Survevs are filed alphabetically by the names of the township, river, mountain, or furnace noted on the survey. Most of the surveys are of multiple plots so they are not further sub- divided and filed by surnames. River Views and Road Views are filed alphabetically by name of the river, road or location. Please note that unlike the other surveys these are not land by roads or rivers, but the actual roads and rivers' courses themselves. Other Maps, that were probably used for reference, are also filed alphabetically by name of the map. Most of these are printed and not of Pennsylvania. The Miscellaneous Countv Survevs include both whole surveys and fragments of surveys without any identifying feature or name. Lastly, there are several Blank Survevs which were drawn but not filled in. There are no names or features noted on these surveys. Oversized Survevs. Some surveys are quite large and were originally stored rolled up. They are filed in oversized folders and are listed at the end of the collection's folder listing. They are organized in the same way as the smaller surveys by Countv and/or Township Names, Multiple Countv Names, No Countv and/or Township Names, Road Views, (there are no oversized River Views), other-M~DS,and Miscellaneous Countv Survevs. There is also an I .example of a sheet of Blank PaDer that was found in the collection. Please note that loose papers found in volumes are separated from the volumes by acid-free paper to prevent staining and then both are filed together in a sheet of acid-free paper. Related papers originally folded together were filed in a sheet of acid-free paper. Volumes with soft and/or fragile covers were also filed in a sheet of acid-free paper. In both cases, dates are written on the paper. Volumes with hard, sturdy covers have acid-free strips of paper sticking out of them, with the appropriate dates so noted. I Some folders were added late in processing when small surveys were found mixed in with unrelated oversized surveys. They were added as, for example 87A and 87B after 87, to show their proper spot in the folder listing without wasting a lot of time renumbering all the folders in the survey section. Lastly, records without identifiable dates as to when they were originally written or copied are filed as n.d., meaning no date or undated. They are filed in the rear of the appropriate folder or section. Special Note: The processing of this collection could not have been completed without the gracious and knowledgeable assistance of Mr. Ed Heary. Mr. Heary was a surveyor for over 40 years in Centre County and had worked extensively with the Treziyulny Papers, particularly the surveys. From his experience, he was able to quickly and easily identify the location of over two cubic feet unidentifiable surveys. The county and/or township names were then written on the survey in pencil so there would be no question in the future as to where they should be filed. He found most of the remaining Miscellaneous Surveys to be drafts, worksheets, or copies of surveys, of which better and more usable surveys existed in the oversize folders. Thank you Mr. Heary!! Reprocessed 5-7/95 by MJMatyn. Location: Boxes #1-22 are located on L.GM #0684-0694. The oversized folders are located on L.5 in map cabinet #4, drawer 1 (folders #1-4)) drawer 2 (folders #5, 7-8), and map cabinet #31, drawer 5 (folders #6, 9-13) (Drawer 5 accommodates the larger surveys.)

  • Chapter Title
    Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

  • Alkaline Addition Problems at the Skytop/Interstate-99 Site, Central Pennsylvania1
    ALKALINE ADDITION PROBLEMS AT THE SKYTOP/INTERSTATE-99 SITE, CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA1 Arthur W. Rose and Hubert L. Barnes2 Abstract. In 2002-3, approximately 8x105 m3 of pyrite-bearing Bald Eagle sandstone and Reedsville shale were removed from a large road cut through Bald Eagle Ridge near State College, PA. The rock contained an average of about 4.5% pyrite as veins and fine veinlet networks across 200 m of road cut. Smaller amounts of ZnS and other heavy metal sulfides accompany the pyrite. The rock was placed in 9 nearby locations, including large waste piles and several valley fills, two ‘buttresses” and a lane elevation along about 0.8 km of hillside that was threatening to slide into the road. During excavation of the cut, pyrite was recognized as a potential problem and considerable lime was added as layers to the various piles. Despite the lime addition, highly acidic seeps emerged from the piles and fills, with pH 2.0 to 2.7, Fe 90-1500 mg/L, and acidities as high as 18,000 mg/L (as CaCO3). These results clearly show that addition of lime and other alkaline materials as layers is not effective. In experiments to test remediation methods, Bauxsol slurry was sprayed onto part of the buttress area but failed to prevent continuing acid seepages. Inspection trenches showed little penetration of the Bauxsol, and demonstrated the presence of the added lime as impermeable lime layers within the buttress. Bucket tests of mixtures of alkaline circulating fluidized-bed ash with pyritic rocks, when well mixed, gave alkaline effluents.

  • Lock Haven PA Water Street Historic District
    Lock Haven PA Water Street Historic District The Water Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Portions of the text below were adapted from a copy of the original nomination document. [ †] The lands between the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and the Bald Eagle Creek being especially desirable, due to their fertility and location, attracted those seeking frontier homes, and by 1800 there developed quite a prosperous settlement on the site of the present Lock Haven. Commercial lumbering was started about the time of the completion of the canal (1834). This industry grew in importance throughout the rest of the century. Most of the historic structures in this district remain on their original sites and are well-preserved. The most significant buildings are: The L. A. Mackey House, 1854, is a Federal-Tuscan Transitional, two-story, Flemish bond brick dwelling with the main section measuring 44.5' by 39.5'. The symmetric facade has five windows across the front, a bracketed cornice with dentils (which is carried along the sides of the building), a decorated frieze with five oblong windows, and a deeply recessed entrance with circular paneled door flanked by side lights and topped by a large rectangular space filled with a semi-circular window. This front entrance is framed with a hood supported by heavy brackets and topped with a balustraded balcony. There are twin chimneys in both gable ends of the main section of this building which is close to original and in excellent condition. The David Carskaddon Homestead, 1858, is an Italian Villa style, two-story dwelling, brick with stucco finish and constructed in the form of a Y.

The Park, as well as the valley, creek, and mountain in this area were named after Chief Bald Eagle (Chief Woapalanne in his native tongue), a well-known chief of the Lenni Lenape Nation. He and his tribe inhabited the areas near Milesburg during the mid 1700’s (Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 2002). Bald Eagle State Park lies on 5,900 acres developed adjacent to the Foster Joseph Sayers Dam. On July 4, 1971, the Bureau of State Parks signed a forty-year lease with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (C.O.E) for the use of the 5,900 acres. Since 1971, the Bureau of State Parks has been solely responsible for the capital development of the land (Pennsylvania Game Commission 1998). Parts of the 5,900 acres, located on both the north and south sides of the lake, are leased to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Bald Eagle State Park offers a wide selection of recreational opportunities such as picnicking, camping, hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, cross country skiing, sled riding, and tobogganing.

  • Watershed 11A, Little Juniata River
    08/22/01 DEP Bureau of Watershed Management Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) State Water Plan Subbasin 11A Little Juniata River and Frankstown Branch Watersheds Blair, Huntingdon, Bedford, Cambria, and Centre Counties Introduction The 738-square mile Subbasin 11A consists of two major parts, the 395-square mile Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River watershed and its major tributaries Beaverdam Branch, Blair Gap Run, Canoe Creek, Piney Creek, and Clover Creek, and the 343-square mile Little Juniata River watershed and its major tributaries, Bald Eagle Creek, Sinking Creek, and Spruce Creek. A total of 1,051 streams flow for 1,314 miles through the subbasin. The subbasin is included in HUC Area 2050302, Upper Juniata River, a Category I, FY99/2000 Priority watershed under the Unified Watershed Assessment developed by the Department in 1998. The Frankstown Branch and the Little Juniata River join to form the man stem Juniata River at the eastern edge of the subbasin. Geology/Topography The topography and geology of the subbasin is varied, as is typical of the Ridge and Valley Ecoregion, which comprises most of the subbasin. This area consists of a series of narrow northeast-southwest trending ridges and steep, narrow valleys formed during the uplift of the Appalachian Mountain chain.
