1892 Map of Pine Grove
USGS Topo · Published 1924About this map
Mahanoy Mountain and the parallel ridges of Sharp Mountain and Blue Mountain define the coal-country geography of this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the industrial infrastructure of the anthracite region, with numerous rail lines like the Mine Hill & Schuylkill Haven Railroad and the Good Spring Creek Branch P & R RR threading through narrow gaps to serve colliery settlements. In the northern reaches, towns like Minersville and Hecksherville are densely situated near active mining operations, while New Mines points to the continuing expansion of the coalfields into the valleys of Swatara Creek and Lorberry Creek.
