1997 Map of Tamaqua

About this map

Tamaqua sits at the heart of this late-1990s industrial landscape, where the Little Schuylkill River cuts through a succession of ridges including Sharp Mountain and Pisgah Mountain. The area’s coal mining legacy is evident in the Strip Mine operations and the sprawling Arlington Yards, while the Conrail line follows the valley floor to serve the borough's tight-knit neighborhoods. Community life is anchored by landmarks like Zion Ch, St Jeromes Ch, and the Tamaqua Area High Sch.
