USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Mount Carmel and its surrounding coal-country settlements dominate this mid-century landscape, revealing a dense network of mountain-bound industry and community. The map illustrates the region's reliance on a complex rail system, with the Reading, Lehigh, and Pennsylvania lines threading through narrow valleys and gaps to serve towns like Kulpmont, Atlas, and Strong. These settlements are tightly packed between the steep ridges of Big Mountain and Locust Mountain, a testament to the geography of the anthracite region.
