2016 Map of Nuremberg

About this map

Nuremberg sits at the junction of three counties—Columbia, Luzerne, and Schuylkill—occupying a valley floor between the ridgelines of Buck Mtn and Green Mtn. This 2016 survey shows the concentrated residential patterns of anthracite coal country, with settlements like Weston, Fern Glen, and Derringer established along the northern base of the mountains. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, with Black Creek and Tomhicken Creek carving through the valleys while the Catawissa Creek winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Zion Grove. Small-scale aviation is represented by Mc Donald's Airport in the south, while the Nuremberg Cem provides a focal point for local genealogical interest. The map reveals the intricate network of township roads and mountain trails, such as the Mountain Laurel Trl, that connect these historically linked mining and agricultural communities.
