1955 Map of Minersville

About this map

Minersville sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a dense network of mining settlements and steep ridges characteristic of the Pennsylvania anthracite region. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the coal industry, with numerous settlements like Coal Castle, Glendower, and New Mines positioned along the slopes of Mine Hill and Broad Mountain. The Reading railroad system provides the primary infrastructure, threading through the valleys to serve the collieries and connect towns such as Branch Dale and Llewellyn.
