1956 Map of New Ringgold

About this map

The Little Schuylkill River carves through the Appalachian landscape, defining the western edge of this 1950s survey. The corridor of the Reading Company railroad tracks the river's path, serving the industrial and transit needs of settlements like New Ringgold and Reynolds. To the south and east, the elevation rises sharply toward Blue Mountain and Hawk Mountain, where the Appalachian Trail follows the ridge line. This area is characterized by a high density of rural institutions, including the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and State Game Lands No 106.
