1955 Map of Mahanoy

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Buck Mountain and the surrounding ridges of Schuylkill and Luzerne counties dominate this mid-century landscape, where coal extraction and rail transport define the regional economy. The map illustrates a complex network of industrial infrastructure, from the extensive Strip Mine operations near Hazle Valley to the vital transportation corridors of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Central RR of New Jersey. Settlements like Shenandoah Heights and Oneida are tightly clustered amidst the topography, serving the nearby collieries and mines.
