2010 Map of Orwigsburg
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
Orwigsburg and the surrounding coal region of Schuylkill County are defined by a complex network of ridges and watercourses. This landscape is shaped by the Schuylkill River in the north and the Little Schuylkill River to the east, while the borough of Orwigsburg sits at the base of Second Mountain. Local water management is evident through the Orwigsburg Reservoir, supported by both an upper and Lower Dam. Small settlements such as Kaska, Middleport, and New Philadelphia follow the river valley, connected by historic thoroughfares like New Philadelphia Rd. The presence of Neon Airport and several dams, including Kunkles Dam and Yost Dam, highlight the region's infrastructure, while prominent terrain features like Tucker Hill and Coal Mountain Rd reflect the industrial heritage of the Pennsylvania anthracite country.
