About this map

Hazleton and its neighboring coal-country settlements are documented here during a period of modern industrial transition. The dense street grid of West Hazleton and the central city gives way to specialized rail junctions like Locust Junction and Cranberry Junction, reflecting a legacy built on anthracite. The landscape is marked by unique industrial features such as the Lion Silt Plant Pond Dam and the Hampshires Shaft, alongside numerous small villages including Jeansville, Tresckow, and Lattimer.

Water management and transport remain central to the area's layout, with Dam G Reservoir and Dam F Reservoir positioned east of the urban center. For those tracing local history, the map identifies specific cemeteries like Hazle Cemetery and Mount Laurel Cemetery, as well as landmarks like the Old Mill Dam near Beaver Meadows. The network of creeks, including Black Creek and Quakake Creek, defines the valleys that once dictated the placement of mine shafts and company towns.
