1994 Map of Pottsville
USGS Topo · Published 1995About this map
The Schuylkill River carves a path through this coal-region landscape, where the anthracite legacy is visible in the Strip Mines surrounding St Clair and New Philadelphia. The urban density of Pottsville and Minersville contrasts with the steep, wooded ridges of Sharp Mountain and Second Mountain, showing a corridor of industrial and residential growth concentrated in the valleys. Notable for its many religious and community landmarks, the area contains numerous burial grounds like German Cem and Odd Fellows Cem, alongside the Penn State University Schuylkill Campus near Schuylkill Haven. The hydrology of the region is highly managed, featuring the Tumbling Run Reservoir No 1 and Indian Run Reservoir, which supported the municipal needs of these historic boroughs during the late twentieth century.
