The confluence of the Susquehanna River and its West Branch at Sunbury anchors this mid-1980s look at the heart of Pennsylvania's anthracite region and the ridge-and-valley landscape. This map reveals a complex network of industrial towns and coal-country settlements like Shamokin, Mount Carmel, and Pottsville, all linked by the remaining lines of the Conrail and Delaware & Hudson RR systems. The terrain is defined by a series of long, parallel ridges including Mahanoy Mountain and Mahantango Mountain, which created natural barriers that funneled development into tight valley corridors.
