Description: 1872 F. W. Beers & Co. layout sketch (top) of Pine Grove Iron Works and 1889 topographic map (bottom) of the greater area by Ambrose E. Lehman, railroad Chief Engineer. The top map labels the distributary from "Mountain Creek" for the furnace's water race north of the "South Mountain R.R.", while Lehman's label for the natural creek in the topographic swale (south of the railroad) was "Mountain" Creek (to right off of this image). The images depict a similar road curve (now Bendersville Rd) over a stream (left side), but depict the RR bridge over the creek in different directions from the ore bed/banks.
