Nesquehoning and Lansford anchor this survey of the Carbon and Schuylkill county border, where the steep topography of Nesquehoning Mountain and Pisgah Mountain dictates the layout of the coal region's narrow valleys. The landscape is defined by its deep cultural roots, evidenced by the high density of religious and memorial sites such as Saint John's Slovak Lutheran Cem, Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church Cem, and Old Saint Michael's Catholic Cem. These labels reflect the diverse ethnic heritage of the immigrant workforce that built the surrounding mining and industrial centers.
