2010 Map of Jersey Shore

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a central path through this landscape, marking a deep-seated junction of water and rail transport. At the convergence of Pine Creek and the river, the borough of Jersey Shore serves as a principal hub, mirrored across the water by the rail infrastructure at Avis Yard. The industrial footprint is evident in the sprawling rail yards and the presence of the Avis Post Office, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the steep rise of Bald Eagle Mountain to the south and the entrance to the Nippenose Valley. Local history is anchored by established burial grounds including Jersey Shore Cemetery, Bellevue Cemetery, and Pine Creek Cemetery. Smaller settlements such as McElhattan, Charlton, and Youngdale line the river valley, illustrating a corridor of growth shaped by the river's course and the gap through the mountains.
