2019 Map of Shickshinny

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley between Shickshinny Mtn and Penobscot Mtn at the southern edge of this Luzerne County landscape. The river-adjacent settlements of Shickshinny and Mocanaqua mark a transition from the industrial valley corridor to the upland plateaus of the north. This region is defined by a dense network of small family and community burial grounds, including the Benscoter Family Cem and Marvin Cem, which speak to the deep ancestral roots of the local townships. In the northwest, Huntington Mills and Harveyville sit along the banks of Huntington Cr, while Shickshinny Cr winds through the center of the sheet, feeding into Shickshinny Lake. The map details the interplay between the steep ridges of Huntington Mtn and the scattered rural hamlets like Bloomingdale and Muhlenburg that occupy the intervening hollows.
