Summary
| Description |
English: This is a sufficiently detailed derivative work of two 19th Century USGS maps as reprinted in the 1930s with annotations showing Watersheds (by any cultural definition). • The map is centered on the three parallel ridges that run SW-to-NE but pinch down and converge into a steep valley along the Lehigh Valley in the stretch (N+W-to-S+E) Nesquehoning, Jim Thorpe (formerly Mauch Chunk, and Lehighton in the middle Lehigh Valley. • That is showing several topological Geological features, mainly Major and Minor Drainage Divides and parts of Drainage Basins. |

Annotated to be usable internationally, "-A-" and "-B-" are on opposite sides of a major Drainage divide in the South Anthracite Region of northeastern Pennsylvania, that of the two ridgeline and valley systems:
- Little Schuylkill RIver - Little Schuylkill RIver - Susquehanna RIver - Potomac RIver
- Lehigh RIver - Delaware RIver, both emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.
