About this map

Trevorton sits at the base of Little Mountain, serving as a focal point for this Northumberland County landscape where valley settlements meet the rising ridges of the Coal Region. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent parallel ridges, including Big Mtn and Mahanoy Mtn, which separate the residential grids from the industrial basins. Evidence of the area's anthracite legacy is visible in features like the Trevorton Fines Pond, Sunshine Fines Pond, and the drainage of Zerbe Run.

Rural life is marked by numerous small communities and named intersections such as Millers Crossroads, Wolfs Crossroads, and Seven Points. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Lukes Cem and Summit Cem, while the northern reaches follow the winding path of Shamokin Creek toward Snydertown. This map documents a landscape where traditional agricultural patterns in the north give way to the complex industrial topography of the southern mountains.
