About this map

The industrial and residential landscape of Lebanon is deeply marked by its heritage of iron and anthracite. This survey captures a sprawling network of boroughs and villages, from the center of West Lebanon to the mining-related settlements of Burd Coleman Village and Miners Village. The legacy of 19th-century industry is visible at the Cornwall Iron Furnace and the large Cornwall Tailings Dam to the southeast, while the northern reaches show the recreation and water management at Lions Lake Park and Stoevers Lake.

Institutional presence is significant across the quadrangle, notably at the U S Veterans Hospital and Philhaven Hospital. Local genealogy and community life are grounded in numerous country churches like Gingrich Ch and the extensive Mt Lebanon Cemetery. The southern border transitions into the Furnace Hills, where the Horseshoe Trail cuts through State Game Lands No 145, offering a sharp contrast to the dense rail and road corridors of Annville and Avon Heights.
