No, North Mammon is a fictional city that was created for Criminal Minds. According to the Criminal Minds Fan Wiki, it is implied that the town is located in Allegheny County. Allegheny County is a real county in Pennsylvania. You may know it for being the county where Pittsburgh is located. I have never seen it on the internet anywhere but I think that North Mammon represents Clairton PA. The football team's colors are black and orange. The Clairton Bears football team wear black and orange uniforms. North Mammon made the state championship in the episode. The Clairton Bears have won three consecutive state championships. Clairton is located in Allegheny County where football is what the town is all about like North Mammon. In the background of the North Mammon Police Office are smokestacks, suggesting that it could be a mill or steel town which Clairton is as well as other towns along the river.
I’m from the Lehigh Valley, in Lehigh County, PA (southeastern). There is a small borough near my hometown called “Northampton.” 100% first thing I thought of when I saw the fictional town name. Also black and orange colors. When I was growing up there were a lot of recreational bonfires, especially during Halloween, homecomings and football szn. I believe there is also a Northampton county nearby. Crazy!

Also black and orange colors. Football culture is HUGE here, massive rivalries among regional HSs, my dad is a coach. When I was growing up there were a lot of recreational bonfires, especially during Halloween, homecomings and football szn. The Lehigh Valley was known for its steel production in earlier centuries. I believe there is also a Northampton county nearby. Crazy similar to the other user’s answer about Allegheny County and I’m convinced the closeness in the way the names of the two towns sound is not a coincidence!

They also mention Rittenhouse Square which is in or near Philadelphia and a closer distance to Northampton and the Lehigh Valley than the Pittsburgh area.
Philadelphia Pa
North East, PA which is northeast of Erie, PA and southwest of Westfield, NY.
Fredericktown PA
Yes, it was. It was filmed in Doylestown, PA. A suburban town north of Philadelphia about 26 miles from center city Philly.
And it is 350 miles taking this route:Take I-71 NORTH from Cincinnati to I-80 OHIO TURNPIKE to TOLEDO and YOUNGSTOWN at EXIT 233 south of Cleveland.Follow signs to I-80 EAST to YOUNGSTOWN; follow I-80 EAST to PA-8 to BARKEYSVILLE at EXIT 29 in PENNSYLVANIA.Turn left off the exit ramp onto PA-8 NORTH; take PA-8 NORTH to Oil City.
Looks like Philadelphia. They are pretty close, but Salt Lake City is about a degree further north than Philadelphia.
The closest small towns are Ardmore and Wayne, but the closest real city is Philadelphia and it is only about 15 minutes away.
Madrid is at almost exactly the same latitude as Pittsburgh, PA.
The driving distance from Warren, PA to Grove City, PA is 86 miles.
pittsburg, pa
You generally don't find cities at even degree intersections of latitude and longitude, but I guess you lucked out. 40N 80W is only 53 feet from the intersection of Mulberry St and Potters Alley in Frederickburg, PA. More of a town than a city, actually; the nearest city would be Pittsburg, PA, about 20 miles north.
Lakeville PA
