1976 Map of Pottsville
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Pottsville anchors this aerial perspective, revealing the dense settlement patterns and industrial scars of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region during the late 1970s. The sharp geological folds of the Appalachians are vividly clear, with the parallel ridges of Sharp Mountain and Second Mountain constricting urban growth to the narrow valleys. Along the Schuylkill River, the neighboring boroughs of Port Carbon and New Philadelphia follow the waterway and the historical corridors of regional transport.
