Need some photos!

Are there any old leaves still lying around? White Poplar has lobed leaves, birch doesn't.

As a nurseryman in the immediate area, I'll throw out a WAG that it's a good ol' garden variety cottonwood. or mebbe even a sycamore.

The OP is more than welcome to contact me thru the Garden Web e-mail.

70 ft is very for a white birch. but more data is required

Most white-barked birch species, of the kinds commonly grown get taller than that - under suitable conditions.

Considering the height, dark & rough at the bottom but white at the top sounds like sycamore.

I don't think leenda is coming back with any photos that will help determine what the tree is. Leenda? are you still there?
