1893 Map of Hazleton
USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
The anthracite coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania is defined here by its intricate network of nineteenth-century railways and ridges. Settlements such as Hazleton, Lansford, and Tamaqua are tightly integrated with the industrial topography of the Nesquehoning Mountains and Mauch Chunk Ridge. The landscape is a corridor of competing rail lines, including the Hazleton and Delano Branch of Lehigh Valley R.R. and the Central Railroad of New Jersey, which navigate the steep terrain to move coal from mountain communities like Summit Hill and Beaver Meadow.
