1946 Map of Avoca
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Lackawanna River corridor defines the industrial and residential heart of this region, where the urban footprints of Old Forge, Duryea, and Avoca cluster along a complex web of Conrail and Delaware and Hudson rail lines. This post-war landscape reflects a transition from intensive mining toward modern infrastructure, anchored by the sprawling Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport. The presence of several ethnic burial grounds, including the Polish National Cem and Slavic Cem, speaks to the diverse immigrant history that fueled the valley's development.
