1955 Map of Carbondale

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Carbondale and Scranton sit at the center of this mid-century landscape where the industrial heritage of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad meets a rural farming and mining economy. The terrain is marked by numerous resource extraction sites, including a Strip Mine, Quarry, and several unnamed mine pits, indicating the local importance of coal or stone during this era. Social centers are identified through several country schools like Towhead Sch and Rubow Sch, alongside the Shawnee Center Sch, which is already noted as abandoned by the time of the 1955 field check.
