1889 Map of Catawissa

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Catawissa and Bloomsburg anchor this late 19th-century landscape where the Susquehanna River meets a complex network of ridges and coal-driven rail corridors. The topography is dominated by the massive parallel heights of Nescopeck Mountain, Catawissa Mountain, and Locust Mountain, which forced early transport into tight valley passages. This survey captures the region's industrial height, documented by the dense concentration of mining towns in the south including Centralia, Mount Carmel, and Girardville.
