1976 Map of Conyngham
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Conyngham sits in the valley below Sugarloaf Mountain in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography from October 1976 to reveal the literal footprint of the Pennsylvania anthracite region. The imagery clearly distinguishes the residential grids of West Hazleton and Kelayres from the surrounding industrial and natural terrain. The geography is defined by parallel ridges including Buck Mountain and Little Sugarloaf Mountain, while Black Creek and Catawissa Creek drain the basins between them. For researchers, the photograph provides a raw view of the landscape before more recent development, documenting the exact extent of mining impacts and timber patterns near Harwood and Sheppton as they existed during the Bicentennial year.
