These volumes are the result of a comprehensive study to develop a plan for the wise management of Pennsylvania's water and related land resources. Each volume includes listings of hydrologic features. These lists were consulted when questions arose concerning a plot on a topo map. Verification and name variants were obtained from these volumes. A geographic and geologic description of the area were given. Maps included in the report plotted many locales, railroad stations, and mines which added new and variant names.
