Description: 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 is heavily annotated, not only with red lines signifying the tops of drainage basins, the drainage divides between the Lehigh River basin and the Little Schuylkill River basin in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians folded landscapes, but orange lines to show divides between creek tributaries within the same drainage/river system. •  This version's annotations label various valleys of subordinate drainage divides, such as Beaver Creek, Black Creek and the historic Panther Creek Valley, like about half the streams shown here, cutting through the border in between Carbon and Schuylkill Counties. • This map is also useful for showing certain railway routes and connections, such as the Mahanoy Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad that rumbles through the Quakake Creek valley from lower Weatherly, PA. •  This orientation is useful for displaying the complex 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.
