About this map

New Ringgold sits at the western edge of this 2010 topographic study, where the Little Schuylkill River carves through the Pennsylvania terrain. The landscape is defined by a series of distinct ridges and lookouts, most notably Hawk Mountain, which features several specific observation points like North Lookout and the South Lookout. Below these heights, the unique geological feature known as the River of Rocks spans the valley floor near Eckville.

Rural settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered across the township, including West Penn, Kepner, and Chain. The map details a complex network of creeks and runs, such as Indian Run and Lizard Creek, which once supported the local agricultural and early industrial economy. Near the southern border, the New Bethel Union Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for those researching local family histories and early settlement patterns in this part of Schuylkill County.
