2019 Map of Shenandoah

About this map

Shenandoah and Mahanoy City anchor this portrait of the Pennsylvania coal region, where dense urban grids are hemmed in by the massive ridges of Locust Mountain and Broad Mountain. The landscape is defined by the extensive management of water, visible in a numbered series of reservoirs such as Reservoir Number One and Reservoir Number Six that ring the heights. The map reveals the intricate network of surrounding villages like Turkey Run, Saint Nicholas, and Maizeville, alongside specialized landmarks such as the McCann School of Business & Technology. To the north, the terrain drops into the agricultural and residential Ringtown Valley, providing a sharp contrast to the industrial character of the southern settlements. Local history is preserved in sites like Saint Joseph Cem and the uniquely named Peddlars Grave, while rail-related history is suggested by names like Mahanoy Plane and Frackville Junction.
