About this map

Trevorton serves as the primary hub of this Northumberland County landscape, situated where the ridge of Little Mountain meets the water of Zerbe Run. The map illustrates a classic central Pennsylvania pattern of valley-floor settlements and steep mountain ridges. Several small rural crossroads define the northern half of the sheet, including Wolfs Crossroads, Millers Crossroads, and Seven Points. These names often reflect early landholding families, as do several landmarks like Dunkelbergers further south.

The topography is dominated by the parallel lines of Mahanoy Mtn and Big Mtn, which frame the deep incision of Bear Valley. These ridges were historically central to the anthracite coal industry, a legacy suggested by local street names such as Coal St and Anthracite Rd. Between the ridges and the larger towns like Stonington and Snydertown lie numerous family burial sites and local markers, including Saint Lukes Cem and Northumberland Memorial Park.
