Seems like the Map maker doesn’t leave the eastern side of the state much. I thought the same thing.

And he didn't even do the east very well.
The names were funny, though.

Nope. Racism wasn't as big a thing up in NEPA because 100 years ago it was all immigrants who were looking for work and got roped into working in the coal mines. Everybody came out the same color.

If anything, the mountains in NEPA aren't all that misty. Centralia is still burning.

As somebody who lives in western PA, I can assure you, it is not.

The coal region of pa is an already defined thing. It’s specific to the anthracite mining areas in the northeast.

Sure, but I think it makes sense to call out the areas where coal was king in the west too. https://www.coalcampusa.com/westpa/.
Lots of shrinking patch towns on both sides of the state!
