1892 Map of Catawissa
USGS Topo · Published 1892About this map
The Susquehanna River bends sharply near Bloomsburg at the northern edge of this survey, where the Bloomsburg Ferry once connected the riverbanks. The landscape is defined by the heavy, parallel ridges of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region, including Nescopeck Mountain and Locust Mountain. Between these heights, a dense network of nineteenth-century railroads, such as the Lehigh Valley R.R. and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, serves the mining communities concentrated in the south.
