About this map

Line Mountain and Good Spring Mountain define the topography of this Schuylkill County landscape, where deep valleys are carved by an intricate network of waterways. The drainage pattern is dominated by Mahanoy Creek to the north and the parallel courses of Deep Creek and Pine Creek to the south. Historically significant landmarks, such as Jacobs Cemetery, sit along the valley floor, connected by a network of rural routes like Valley RD and Scenic RD.

The presence of County Line Rd and Gap School Rd suggests the importance of local administrative and educational centers in this coal-region countryside. The map reveals the relationship between the ridgelines and the agricultural or residential corridors that follow the paths of Little Mahantango Creek and Schuaben Creek, illustrating the long-standing settlement patterns of the Pennsylvania heartland.
