The wall-sized Centre County map from the USGS is ideal as are the USGS quadrangle maps for smaller sections of Centre County. Unfortunately, the contours on the Pennsylvania Gazetteer are too coarse for that map to be of much use in bird site selection. Once you ve picked out some likely looking sites, drive out to them and have a look. Many good sites can be reached with a conventional car, even those on dirt roads far off the beaten track. If a road seems too rough for your car, try again after a couple of weeks of dry weather.
Drought does amazingly good things for central Pennsylvania s dirt roads.
