2019 Map of Pine Grove

About this map

Swatara Creek winds through the southern landscape of this 2019 survey, defining a valley corridor that has long served as a primary transportation artery through the coal region of Pennsylvania. The map illustrates a dense network of small settlements and neighborhood clusters such as Pine Grove, Suedberg, and Marstown, which are interspersed with local landmarks like the Fairview Farm Airfield. To the north, the terrain transitions into the steeper ridges of the Appalachian range, where the legacy of industry is visible in the placement of Lorberry Junction and the scattered mountain communities of Joliett and Keffers. Genealogists may find interest in the precise location of Hollerman Cem near Ravine, while the presence of Echo Valley and Paradise reflects the traditional naming patterns of these rural townships. The drainage patterns of Fishing Cr and Rausch Creek underscore the complex hydrology of a region shaped by both its natural geography and its industrial past.
