A Guide to the PROPERTY OWNERS

Of

Treskow

&

The rest of 

Banks twp.

IN

CARBON COUNTY

Pennsylvania

1875

 

 

Nearly all of the following lies to the west of the village of Beaver Meadows.  The list of property owners is very short because various coal companies owned most of the land.  Besides the villages covered elsewhere, this map shows the patch towns of Coolstown, Lewiston & Colerain.  Also shown in the east end is Millers Station, and the Hazle Creek Bridge Station (in Lausanne Twp.).  Though the map fails to indicate it, both these places were small villages, though the populations were transient and the houses were temporary.  Besides the map of the over all township, there is an enlarged map of the village of Treskow included here. 

This area has changed greatly in the last 125 plus years.  Treskow has grown, while other villages shrank or vanished.  Modern maps give no indication of Yorktown, although Audenried is shown.  State Route 309 passes through the village, a major north/south route in this part of the state.  However, on modern maps Audenried appears to be isolated from the rest of Carbon County by coal strippings.  For anyone in Audenried to go to any other part of Carbon Co., they must pass through either Schuylkill or Luzerne first.   The villages of Coleraine & Lewiston now appear as Junedale.  Coolstown appears to have vanished in a strip mine.
