About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate this 1940s landscape, where industrial and agricultural patterns meet at the boundaries of Susquehanna, Wayne, and Lackawanna counties. Forest City serves as the primary population center, showing a dense street grid supported by the Erie RR and the Forest City Sta. The presence of strip mine contours around Richmondale and Vandling reflects the region's mid-century coal operations.
