Mount Carmel and Kulpmont anchor this survey of the Pennsylvania Anthracite Region, where steep ridges and narrow valleys dictated the layout of dense mining towns. The landscape is defined by the massive crests of Locust Mountain and Mahanoy Mountain, which hem in the settlements of Locust Gap and Locust Summit. These communities emerged around the geology of the coal fields, connected by a network of runs such as Shamokin Creek and Mahanoy Creek.
