1947 Map of Minersville
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Minersville and its surrounding anthracite coal country are defined here by a dense industrial network of the Reading and Pennsylvania railroads. This mid-century survey illustrates how the landscape was carved into distinct mining patches and company towns like Glen Carbon, Glendower, and Heckscherville. The complex drainage of the West Branch Schuylkill River and Muddy Branch mirrors the heavy topographic relief of Mine Hill and Sharp Mountain, which constrained development to narrow valleys and ridges.
