2010 Map of Pottsville

About this map

Pottsville serves as the focal point of this 21st-century landscape, where the Schuylkill River and its various branches carve through the anthracite coal region. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors, with dense neighborhoods in Saint Clair and Port Carbon tightly constrained by the surrounding ridges like Sharp Mountain. This modern survey reveals how the infrastructure of the industrial era has been repurposed, showing several water management sites including the Silver Creek Reservoir and Indian Run Reservoir, alongside newer developments like Chim Commercial Airport. To the south, the junctions at Cressona and Schuylkill Haven illustrate the historical importance of the river corridors for regional transit. Notable specific locales like York Farm Junction and Palo Alto highlight the intricate network of smaller communities that define this part of Schuylkill County.
