About this map

The Lackawanna River corridor defines the industrial and residential heart of this area, as seen in the densely populated boroughs of Carbondale, Mayfield, and Jermyn. This region reflects a complex landscape shaped by its anthracite history, where the built environment sits adjacent to significant geological and extraction features. The Archbald Pothole stands as a notable glacial relic near the southern boundary, while the legacy of the coal industry is clearly marked by the Murrins Mines, Fall Brook Mines, and the Coal Brook Tunnel to the north.

Beyond the river valley, the terrain rises toward Finch Hill and Hubbard Mountain, giving way to a network of reservoirs and ponds including Rush Brook Reservoir and Heart Lake. Transportation and community infrastructure are well-documented through small aviation sites like Malinchak Airport and numerous local burial grounds such as Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery and White Bridge Cemetery, which provide valuable data points for local genealogists and historians.
