1892 Map of Shamokin

About this map

Danville and Shamokin anchor this late nineteenth-century topography, documenting the coal and iron heart of Pennsylvania. The landscape is defined by the sharp east-west orientation of ridges like Montour Ridge and Mahanoy Mountain, which hem in the complex railroad networks necessary for the region's industrial output. The North Branch Susquehanna River cuts through the northern portion of the sheet, followed closely by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad.
