About this map

Reynoldsville occupies the valley floor of Sandy Lick Creek, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding mining and agricultural communities. This 1966 era terrain is marked by an extensive network of Gas Wells and Strip Mines that trace the ridgelines above Soldier Run and Little Sandy Creek. The landscape reflects a legacy of extraction, with multiple sites labeled as Tipple and Mine connected by various Old Railroad Grade routes that once fed the region's industrial engine.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous rural communities and family landmarks, including the unusually named settlements of Panic, Desire, and Wishaw. The cultural fabric is preserved through a dense concentration of religious and memorial sites such as St Marys Ch, Bollinger Ch, Zion Ch, and the Lakelawn Memorial Park. Large tracts of forest are managed within Pine Creek State Game Lands No 244 and Knox State Game Lands No 31, illustrating the balance between industrial use and conservation.
