About this map

Tamaqua and the industrial corridors of the Panther Creek Valley define this 2010 topographic record of Schuylkill County. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management and transportation, featuring significant infrastructure such as Arlington Yards and several major dams, including Still Creek Dam and Lake Hauto Dam. These structures sustain the Still Creek Reservoir and Bear Creek Reservoir, illustrating the region's reliance on managed water resources for its residential and industrial sectors.

Residential settlements like Lansford, Coaldale, and Hometown are anchored between the prominent ridges of Nesquehoning Mountain and Pisgah Mountain. Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Odd Fellows Cemetery and small communities such as New England Valley and South Tamaqua. The survey details the winding paths of the Little Schuylkill River and Panther Creek, which have historically shaped the development and layout of these coal-region towns.
