- Pisgah_Mountain abstract "Pisgah Mountain or Pisgah Ridge (on older USGS Maps) is a long ridgeline (12.5 miles (20.1 km) Tamaqua to Jim Thorpe river gap to river gap) oriented NNE-to-SSW whose northside valley is followed by U.S. Route 209 from river gap to river. The ridge is a succession of peaks exceeding 1,440 feet (438.9 m) looming 300–540 feet above the towns of Lansford, Coaldale, Summit Hill, and Tamaqua in the Panther Creek valley. The ridge forms the left bank drainage divide on the south and the streams source in the east. The east end of the ridge is named Mount Pisgah and represents a hard rock knob that towers 700–900 feet above Lehigh River towns Jim Thorpe to the east, and Nesquehoning to its north. The municipalities are located relative to one another just around a near ninety-degree bend in the Lehigh a few miles apart by road or river. Geologically, the Pisgah Ridge divide is classed as of semi-major degree, the waters enter the same body, the Delaware, but do so over fifty miles apart as the north draining waters are feed waters of the Panther Creek running east as a Little Schuylkill tributary, whilst the eastern south slope waters drain into the valley formed by the Mauch Chunk Ridge paralleling Pisgah Ridge to the south, via the Mauch Chunk Creek (White Bear Creek). Furthermore, the terminal but subordinate peak of the ridge and Mount Pisgah is located at the joining of two ridgelines of similar height, the more northerly, Nesquehoning Mountain forming the right bank drainage divide for Panther Creek, and being sundered from Mount Pisgah proper by a short very steep characteristic V-shaped water-erosion valley (oriented below a 'right bank' prominence named "Indian Peak") that US-209 climbs steeply from the town of Nesquehoning westwards 2-3 miles to reach the head of the Panther Creek Valley. The railroad tracks paralleling PA-54 also transiting the town of Nesquehoning's flat river-bank terrain takes over sixteen miles farther to climb and descend to once again reach an elevation where it can turn to enter the Panther Creek Valley]] near the confluence with the Little Schuylkill via the rail yard at Tamaqua in a longer more circuitous climb—and demonstration why Dump Trucks have replaced railroads in short haul situations.".
