1944 Map of Orbisonia
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The narrow-gauge corridor of the East Broad Top RR defines the industrial and transportation character of this central Pennsylvania landscape, serving the twin boroughs of Orbisonia and Rockhill. The map reveals a deeply corrugated topography of parallel ridges, including Shade Mountain and Tuscarora Mountain, which dictate the placement of settlements and transit. While the railroad follows the valley floor along Aughwick Creek, the newly constructed Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts a bold diagonal across the southern terrain, tunneling through the ridges at Sideling Hill and Blue Mountain.
