2023 Map of Avoca
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Moosic and the surrounding valley communities sit at a busy industrial and transportation crossroads where the Lackawanna River cuts through the coal region. The landscape is defined by a dense corridor of settlements including Old Forge, Avoca, and Duryea, as well as several smaller named neighborhoods like Spike Island, Belian Village, and Starks. Genealogists will find a high concentration of denominational burial grounds, such as the Saint-Mary's Roman Catholic Church Cem and Sacred Heart of Jesus Cem. While the lower elevations are dominated by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and the path of the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley RR, the eastern half of the map shifts abruptly into the high ridges of the Moosic Mountains. Here, the terrain is marked by peaks like Big Shiney Mountain and various water works such as the Spring Brook Intake and District Number Five Reservoir.
