1946 Map of Forest City

About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate this region at the intersection of Susquehanna, Wayne, and Lackawanna counties. In the south, Forest City serves as the primary urban hub, with its street grid nestled between the Lackawanna River and the hills. This post-war landscape reveals a mix of industrial and agricultural life, where the Erie RR and the New York Ontario and Western RR support the local economy. Northward, the terrain transitions into a series of smaller crossroads settlements such as Uniondale, Herrick Center, and Belmont Corner.
