2019 Map of Valley View

About this map

Valley View serves as a primary population center in this part of Schuylkill County, situated in the valley between the prominent ridges of Mahantango Mountain and Good Spring Mtn. This modern survey reveals a series of smaller rural settlements including Sacramento, Spring Glen, and Hepler that follow the east-west orientation of the ridges. The landscape is defined by the sharp topographic relief of Line Mtn to the north and the intricate drainage of Mahanoy Creek and the Little Mahantango Creek. Genealogists may find interest in Jacobs Cem near the Line Mountain settlement and Masser Field south of Sacramento. The road network, including Rte 125 crossing through Kohlers Gap, illustrates how historical transport routes were dictated by the gaps in the Appalachian ridge-and-valley province.
