Description
English: Re-rotated (unrotated) re-upload of File:Sources of Nesquehoning creek from hzlt93sw-Rot90cw.JPG.
•  This map serves the same function, but with the sources of the Nesquehoning written sideways.
•  This version shows various drainage basins, the drainage divides between the Lehigh River basin and the Little Schuylkill River basin in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians folded landscapes of this important industrial region and the drainage/river systems which inhibited transportation.


•  This orientation is useful for displaying the complex rail network worked into the mountainous terrain (still important and in use today), the key drainage basins and especially the ridges with the drainage divides involving two counties above the historic coal mining and railroad communities of:
Weatherly, PA, Beaver Meadows, PA, Delano, PA, Hometown, PA, Tamaqua, PA, Coaldale, PA, Lansford, PA, and extremely influential in the bootstrapping of the U.S. Industrial Revolution.

Tamaqua co-ords: 40° 47′ 55″ N, 75° 57′ 59″ W 40.798611, -75.966389
