The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the ridges of Luzerne County, separating the steep slopes of Shickshinny Mountain from the dense industrial and residential corridors of Nanticoke and West Nanticoke. This landscape is defined by its deep cultural roots, evidenced by an extraordinary density of ethnic and parochial cemeteries. Clusters such as the Italian Independent Cem, Saint Michaels Byzantine Catholic Cem, and the Good Shepherd Polish National Cem reflect the immigrant communities that settled these anthracite coal regions.
