USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The dense residential and industrial grids of Ashland and Centralia dominate this 1944 survey of the Pennsylvania anthracite region. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Reading and Lehigh Valley transportation networks, which parallel Mahanoy Creek through the Mahanoy Valley. These rail lines and roads serve a string of coal-country settlements including Girardville, Byrnsville, and Raven Run, where the terrain is tightly constrained by the massive ridges of Locust Mountain and Big Mountain.
