1948 Map of Weatherly
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Weatherly sits as the central hub of this anthracite-region landscape, where the confluence of Black Creek and Hazle Creek meets a complex network of Conrail rail lines. The map reveals an industrial geography defined by the extraction and transport of coal, particularly evident in the extensive Strip Mine operations atop Foster Mountain near the settlement of Eckley. Between the steep ridges of Lausanne Mountain and Broad Mountain, the landscape transitions from industrial coal patches to the steep gorges of the Lehigh River at Rockport. Local life is recorded through landmarks like St Joseph Ch, Larrytown Sch, and the Lookout Tower on Packer Mountain. The rail infrastructure at Black Creek Junction illustrates how the geography of the creeks dictated the movement of resources through the narrow valleys of Carbon County.
