1956 Map of New Ringgold

About this map

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and the long ridgeline of Blue Mountain dominate this mid-century portrait of the Pennsylvania coal region's southern edge. The Little Schuylkill River cuts through the northwest corner near New Ringgold, where infrastructure like the Impounding Basin and Desilting Basin points to the area's industrial water management history. The map traces the Appalachian Trail as it follows the high ground above Eckville, passing landmarks like Dans Pulpit and the geological formation known as River of Rocks.
