1950 Map of Shenandoah
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Shenandoah and Mahanoy City anchor this mid-century look at the Pennsylvania coal region, where the industrial landscape of the Mahanoy Valley is etched into the terrain. The map reveals the intricate infrastructure required for anthracite mining, featuring the Mahanoy Plane and an extensive network of Reading and Pennsylvania railroad lines. Settlement patterns are densely packed into the valleys and along the base of Locust Mountain and Bear Ridge, with neighborhoods like West William Penn, West Mahanoy, and Yatesville serving as hubs for local labor.
