1946 Map of Avoca
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Lackawanna River valley serves as the industrial and residential anchor for this region, where the urban expansion of Old Forge, Moosic, and Avoca meets the rising slopes of the Moosic Mountains. While the northwest is densely patterned with settlements like Spike Island and Lawrenceville, the southeast shifts abruptly into the high, protected terrain of State Game Lands No. 91. The transition between these worlds is marked by the presence of the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport and the path of the Northeast Extension Pennsylvania Turnpike.
