About this map

Center Moreland serves as the central hub of this mid-century Pennsylvania landscape, where the Wyoming Co Luzerne Co border meets a network of upland farms and valley settlements. The eastern edge is defined by the sweeping bend of the Susquehanna River, followed closely by the tracks of the Lehigh Valley railroad and small riverside communities like Whites Ferry and Keelersburg.

A notable density of rural social infrastructure is present throughout the hills, including the Thurston Ch and a collection of schoolhouses such as Hunter Sch, Michigan Sch, and Forest Grove Sch. These local landmarks, alongside numerous small lakes like Lake Catalpa and Lake Louise, illustrate a well-established rural community before modern development. The presence of Radio Towers near Hoban Heights indicates the encroachment of mid-century communications into the Susquehanna's traditional agricultural corridor.
