The ridge-and-valley terrain of the Anthracite Coal Region is meticulously documented in this survey by Marcus Baker and R.D. Cummin. Concentrated settlement patterns follow the rich mineral veins found between Buck Mountain and Sharp Mountain, with industrial centers like Hazleton and Tamaqua serving as major hubs. The map reveals the complex late-19th-century rail infrastructure required to transport coal, including the Hazletoin and Delano Br of Lehigh Val and the Nesquehoning Br of Central Railroad of NJ.
