About this map

Hazleton serves as the central hub of this anthracite-rich region, where the urban grid meets a landscape profoundly shaped by industrial excavation. The presence of Strip Mine workings north of Ebervale and near Jeansville illustrates the enduring coal-country character of the terrain. The map captures the dense settlement patterns of the mid-1990s, including residential enclaves like Hazleton Heights and Crystal Ridge, alongside established community anchors such as the Heights Terrace Sch and the Hazleton Municipal Airport.

Tracing the boundaries between Luzerne Co, Carbon Co, and Schuylkill Co, the survey highlights a complex network of transportation and topography. Water management is prominent through the Dam F Reservoir and Dam G Reservoir along Hazle Creek. Smaller outlying patches such as Audenried, Beaver Meadows, and Eckley Junction remain distinct, while Spring Mountain and Broad Mountain define the high ridges that hem in these historic mining towns.
