USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Anthracite coal country defines the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, where the Reading railroad network links industrial settlements like Minersville, Tremont, and Donaldson. The landscape is a series of parallel ridges including Mahanoy Mountain, Sharp Mountain, and Blue Mountain, the latter of which is crested by the Appalachian Trail. Evidence of the region's extraction economy is visible through sites like Coal Castle and numerous unnamed mines concentrated near Branch Dale and Heckscherville.
