1893 Map of Mahanoy

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

The anthracite coal region of Northeast Pennsylvania is defined by intense industrial development and complex rail networks in this late nineteenth-century survey. Heavy infrastructure follows the narrow valleys, with the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and the Lehigh Valley Railroad competing for access to the rich coal fields. Large mining communities like Shenandoah and Mahanoy City show dense urban grids, while smaller colliery settlements such as William Penn, Lost Creek, and Gilberton are scattered along the tracks.
