2010 Map of Tower City

About this map

Tower City and Williamstown anchor this landscape, situated along the Wiconisco Creek valley in the shadows of the anthracite coal region's ridges. The map illustrates a developed corridor at the base of Big Lick Mountain, where the built environment of residential streets and cemeteries like Fairview Cemetery transitions into the steep, wooded terrain of Bear Mountain. The presence of the Williamstown Tunnel and local landmarks like the Gold Mine Speedway point to the area's industrial and recreational history. To the south, the terrain becomes more expansive and less settled, defined by the winding paths of Clark Creek and the Evening Branch, which flow through the gaps between Second Mountain and the prominent Chinese Wall formation. This 2010 survey details the modern infrastructure of Hegins Township, from the Bendigo Airport to the Lebanon Reservoir, providing a clear picture of the region's topographical and civil layout.
