1955 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Mount Carmel and Kulpmont dominate the central valley of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the anthracite coal industry. The intricate network of the Conrail lines and the presence of several Inactive Mines reflect the industrial heritage of the Locust Mountain region. Smaller settlements like Natalie and Marion Heights are clustered along the ridge lines, while cultural landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater near Natalie and the extensive Mt Carmel Cemetery speak to the community life of the era.
