1954 Map of Delano

About this map

Mahanoy and Delano townships define this industrial landscape of the anthracite coal region during the mid-20th century. The complex rail infrastructure of the Reading, Lehigh Valley, and Central RR of New Jersey lines dominates the narrow valleys, connecting crucial nodes like Mahanoy Tunnel Sta and Hazleton Jct. The map illustrates the concentration of company towns and rail junctions, including Tamanend, Quakake, and Park Place, which grew around the extraction and transport of coal.
