Talk:Alaska, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania

Deprod
Not finding strong evidence of population but there is evidence of existence and industry there. The title of this book indicates that Alaska is the region of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania around the cemetery. The map pin is pointing to nothing, but the cemetery is only about 300 yds north-east. This source (1886) shows there is, or was, coal mines here. Ditto for this source (1891) and numerous others for other years. The 1883 edition has an "Alaska station" – possibly a railway station?. This might be located at the industrial area around 200 yards north of the map pin. There is a branch line still in existence going in to that facility. This source (1911) states that there was a powder store at the location. Probably also connected with mining. I know this is weak, but it is enough not to delete arbitrarily with a prod.
