A new display has been put up in the Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information. This display, prepared by Maps and GIS Assistants, describes what a watershed is, the local watersheds in Pennsylvania, and watershed related public art called “Ridge and Valley” by Stacy Levy that is viewable at the Arboretum. This display includes watershed descriptions, selected maps, images, and a 3D printed model of the Spring Creek watershed, which surrounds State College.
The Main portion of the display are two large informational posters designed by Kevin Goldberg, one of the Maps and GIS Assistants, which contain text and images created by other Assistants. Various panels explain what a watershed is, the local watersheds, and introduce “Ridge and Valley” a sculpture created by artist Stacy Levy. The display case contains maps of the local watersheds, maps of the larger Chesapeake Bay watershed, and a 3D printed model of the Spring Creek watershed created by Historic Aerial Imagery Bednar Intern, Brady Watkins. Alongside the main display several relevant maps and resources are hung along the walls of the Center for patrons to enjoy.
