2013 Map of Carbondale

About this map

The Lackawanna River valley serves as the industrial and residential heart of this region, where the urban corridor of Carbondale, Mayfield, and Jermyn follows the river's path. This landscape is a complex mix of valley floor settlements and high-elevation features like the Archbald Pothole and the ridges of Cary Mountain. The map details a sophisticated water management system, including the O and W Reservoir, Rush Brook Reservoir, and Edgerton Reservoir, which sit above the valley settlements. Further west, the terrain transitions to a more residential and recreational character around Chapman Lake and Heart Lake. Small hamlets such as Tompkinsville and Montdale are linked by a dense network of local roads like Poor Farm Rd and Hickory Ridge Rd, illustrating the persistence of smaller communities outside the primary river corridor.
