1954 Map of Delano

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Schuylkill County's industrial backbone is clearly visible in this mid-century survey of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region. The intricate rail network of the Reading and Lehigh Valley lines dominates the landscape, connecting specialized transit points like East Mahanoy Jct and Mahanoy Tunnel Sta to mining hubs such as the Primrose Mine. The map captures the dense integration of company towns and family-founded settlements, showing small population centers like Tamanend, Quakake, and Delano tucked into the valleys between Broad Mountain and Locust Mountain.
