2019 Map of Shamokin

To the north, the landscape opens into Brush Valley, where the Northumberland County Airport and the village of Elysburg reflect a shift toward a more agricultural and suburban character. Regional genealogy is well-supported by numerous burial grounds, including Pine Hill Cemetery and Bear Gap Cemetery, which sit on the periphery of these long-established valley settlements. The industrial history of the region is etched into the terrain itself, with names like Carbon Run and Coal Run signaling the resources that originally drew populations to these steep Pennsylvania ridges.
