1946 Map of Forest City

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The northern Lackawanna Valley unfolds across this mid-century survey, centered on the industrial and residential grid of Forest City. Positioned at the junction of Susquehanna, Lackawanna, and Wayne counties, the area's landscape is defined by the Erie Lackawanna rail lines that trace the valley floor alongside the West Branch Lackawanna River. The 1969 photorevisions, marked in purple, show significant industrial evolution, specifically highlighting strip mine areas near Richmondale and Vandling.
