1994 Map of Carbondale

About this map

The Lackawanna River corridor serves as the industrial and civic spine of this region, anchoring the dense settlements of Carbondale, Mayfield, and Jermyn. The map reveals a landscape balancing heavy industry with public recreation, where a Strip Mine and gravel pits sit adjacent to the unique geological formation of Archbald Pothole State Park. The plateau to the west is dotted with smaller communities like Tompkinsville and Montdale, along with prominent water bodies such as Chapman Lake and Heart Lake. Religious and community life is well-documented through numerous sites including Finch Hill Ch, Corpus Christi Ch, and several family and parish burial grounds like Scott Valley Cem and Our Mother of Sorrows Cem. The presence of the Roosevelt Highway and the Voc Tech Sch reflects the region's mid-century infrastructural development and educational focus.
