Centralia and the surrounding anthracite coal country are documented here in the mid-1970s via high-altitude aerial imagery. This orthophotograph captures the stark industrial footprint of the region, where the urban grid of Girardville sits tightly packed in the valley of Mahanoy Creek. The topography is defined by the heavy ridges of Little Mountain and Broad Mountain, which frame the deep scars of surface mining operations that dominate the landscape between Aristes and Gordon.
