2010 Map of Freeland

About this map

The borough of Freeland and its surrounding anthracite-region hamlets dominate this 2010 landscape, showing the dense residential grid of South Heberton and Upper Lehigh against the industrial and natural geography of Luzerne County. The map details a transition from the built environments of Drifton and Pardeesville in the south to the conservation lands of Nescopeck State Park further north. Distinctive landmarks such as the Freeland Lookout Tower and Davis Airport serve as navigational anchors, while the terrain is marked by significant features like Little Nescopeck Mountain and the notable gap at Nescopeck Pass. Local history is preserved through the locations of Saint Ann Cemetery and smaller named settlements like Honey Hole, Rumbels, and Kis-Lyn. This survey effectively documents the intersection of modern transit corridors with the established settlement patterns of the Lehigh Valley coal region.
