USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Freeland and its surrounding coal communities anchor this 1950 topographical study of southern Luzerne County. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of anthracite mining, with numerous Strip Mines and substantial Mine Dumps concentrated around Upper Lehigh, Drifton, and Highlands. These industrial zones are tied together by the Central RR of PA and the Lehigh Valley railroad lines, which navigate the narrow valleys between Buck Mountain and Butler Green Mountain.
