Once built to support nearby rust belt industries fashionable in years gone away, the hamlet is centered between the center and eastern thirds of the Southern Anthracite Coal Region. The neighborhood is part of a wide ranging township and is situated sitting atop a summit and drainage divide flanked by two long climbs that are an traversed by local transport infrastructure, railways with an important switching junction within the village, and Pennsylvania Route 54, which collects towns like beads on a string along a particular combination of connected valleys in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians in which

Located in the northeastern part of the state amidst relatively gentle summit terrain after the long E-W climb up the Nesquehoning Creek valley, Barnesville was founded primarily as a railroad town with a watering depot for the Nesquehoning Railroad (and later the Nesquehoning and Mahanoy Railroad and Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad) after its climb via the Pine Creek valley from Hometown, Nesquehoning, and Tamaqua to the east. All these places lie within the Southeastern Anthracite Coal Region.
