About this map

The Lackawanna River corridor defines the industrial and residential heart of this region, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad facilitates the movement of goods through Carbondale, Mayfield, and Jermyn. This mid-century survey, updated with 1969 revisions, captures a landscape where industry meets the rising terrain of the Coal Region. Higher elevations are marked by the Scott Fire Tower and rural outposts like Finch Hill and Tompkinsville.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from religious centers like Corpus Christi Ch to numerous burial grounds including Our Mother of Sorrows Cem and Valley View Cem. Educational history is preserved through the locations of Greenfield High Sch and Scott High Sch, while the presence of an Old RR Grade and several reservoirs, such as Rush Brook Reservoir and D and H Reservoir, speak to the evolving water and transport infrastructure of Lackawanna County.
