USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Industrial coal processing and the intersection of three counties—Luzerne, Columbia, and Schuylkill—characterize this mid-century survey of the Pennsylvania anthracite region. The village of Nuremberg and nearby Gowen sit at the foot of Buck Mountain, where the map documents extensive Strip Mine activity. These mining operations are clustered along the Conrail line, highlighting the region's reliance on rail transport for moving coal.
