About this map

Cornwall Furnace and the surrounding industrial hamlets of Miners Village and Burd Coleman Village anchor the southern portion of this mid-century Pennsylvania landscape. The region’s deep iron heritage is evidenced by these residential clusters and the presence of Anthracite processing near Rexmont. To the north, the city of Lebanon expands along the Conrail lines, its urban grid defined by landmarks like the Armory and Coleman Memorial Park.

The rural surroundings are punctuated by local institutions such as Zinns Mill and the expansive U S Veterans Hospital. Genealogists will find a wealth of named local landmarks, from the Mt Lebanon Cemetery to small country schools like Laurel Grove Sch and Pleasant Site Sch. The varied terrain transitions from the developed valley floor to the wooded heights of the Furnace Hills, where the Horseshoe Trail winds through the southern ridges.
