About this map

The borough of Conyngham and the neighboring hills of Luzerne and Schuylkill counties are meticulously documented in this 2016 survey. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Buck Mtn in the north, while the southern portion of the quadrangle follows the Catawissa Cr and Spies Run drainages. This modern record illustrates the expansion of industrial and educational hubs, notably the Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Hazleton campus and the extensive Humboldt industrial area.

Water management and transportation infrastructure are central to the landscape, from the Hazleton Regional Airport in the northeast to several significant impoundments like Humboldt Reservoir and Number Eight Reservoir. Smaller residential clusters and historically significant settlements including Sheppton, Oneida, and McAdoo Heights provide essential reference points for local history and genealogical research in this coal-country region.
