USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The anthracite coal industry shapes the landscape around Ashland and Centralia during this era of post-war revision. Massive Mine Dumps and tailings characterize the ridges of Ashland Mountain and the Mahanoy Valley, illustrating the sheer scale of the region's extractive economy. The industrial activity is serviced by a complex rail network, including the Reading and Lehigh Valley lines, which navigate the steep gaps between Big Mountain and Broad Mountain.
