About this map

Delano and the surrounding Schuylkill County coal region are defined by a complex network of reservoirs and junctions that reflect the area's industrial legacy. The landscape is dotted with small settlements like Quakake, Tuscarora, and Maryd, connected by rail-oriented infrastructure such as Pine Junction and Laurel Junction. Notable landmarks like the Lofty Tunnel and Silver Fire Tower highlight the topographic challenges and utility of this highland area.

Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, from the Lakeside Park Reservoir near Park Crest to the expansive Tuscarora Lake. The map details smaller industrial markers like Mintzers Siding and family-named places including Grier City and Haucks. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern layout of these historic mining-era communities, tracing the paths of the Schuylkill River and the Little Schuylkill River as they wind through the valleys.
