About this map

The Lackawanna River corridor anchors this 2016 survey, defining a narrow valley of dense settlements including Mayfield, Jermyn, and Childs that contrasts sharply with the high ridges of Cary Mtn and Hubbard Mtn to the west. This industrial landscape is marked by unique infrastructure, such as the Coal Brook Tunnel and White Bridge Tunnel, alongside the significant natural wonder of the Archbald Pothole.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial grounds, from the Our Mother of Sorrows Cem near Spencers Corners to the Mount Carmel Cem overlooking the city of Carbondale. Aviation history is also present through small airfields like Ashlawn Airport and the Malinchak Private Airport. Water management for the valley is visible through the Rush Brook Reservoir and the O and W Reservoir, while the presence of Crystal Lake and Chapman Lake highlights the recreation areas situated on the surrounding plateaus.
