Saint Johns
Saint Johns occupies a wooded Appalachian upland in northeastern Pennsylvania, close to the interchange of Interstate 80 and Interstate 81. This part of Luzerne County lies within the Susquehanna River watershed, where ridges and narrow valleys have long shaped settlement and transport routes. I-80 is a major east–west Interstate corridor, while I-81 runs north–south through the Appalachian region, making their junction an important connection for long-distance traffic. The community stands in a part of Pennsylvania historically associated with anthracite coal mining, an industry that helped shape the economy and communities of Luzerne County. Broad highways, woodland and dispersed development now define the area around Saint Johns.

Few communities in northeastern Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to anthracite coal mining as Saint Johns. Set in Luzerne County’s wooded uplands, it belongs to the wider Susquehanna River basin, where ridges and narrow valleys have long influenced roads and settlement. Its identity is rooted in Pennsylvania’s Anthracite Region: this hard coal powered industry and rail transport across the state’s northeast during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The former coal-country setting adds context to the small communities beyond the larger towns of the Wyoming Valley.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
