1969 Map of Klingerstown

About this map

Line Mountain and Mahantango Mountain define the parallel ridgelines of this central Pennsylvania landscape, where narrow valleys have fostered a series of isolated rural settlements. The drainage patterns of Mahanoy Creek to the north and Mahantango Creek through the center dictate the local topography, which is dotted with numerous small country churches like Himmels Ch and St Johns Ch. This late-1960s survey documents the traditional community clusters of Rebuck, Leck Kill, and the evocatively named Rough and Ready.
