1892 Map of Dundaff

About this map

Elk Hill dominates the northeast corner of this northeastern Pennsylvania landscape, where the peaks of North Knob and South Knob rise above the surrounding rural townships of Gibson and Herrick. In the Lackawanna Valley, the industrial character of the era is evident through the corridor of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co RR and the New York Ontario and Western RR, which connect the urban centers of Carbondale, Mayfield, and Jermyn. The map captures the infrastructure of the coal region just before the turn of the century, including the Powderly works.
