1954 Map of Delano

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Schuylkill Mountain and Broad Mountain define the topography of this mid-century coal region, where the intricate rail network of the Reading, Lehigh Valley, and Central R R of New Jersey lines intersect. The map documents the industrial footprint of the anthracite fields, specifically marking the Primrose Mine and the Mahanoy Tunnel Sta. Settlement patterns are tightly clustered in the valleys, ranging from the railroad junction at Delano to smaller villages like Tamanend and Quakake. Local social geography is preserved through the locations of the Lakeside Sch, St Peters Ch, and the Drive-in Theater near Barnesville. The landscape also features a series of reservoirs and natural water bodies, including Locust Lake and the Codorus Reservoir, which suggest the area's transition toward water management and recreation as the coal era matured.
