2013 Map of Freeland

About this map

Freeland and its surrounding borough neighborhoods form a dense residential and commercial core in this modern survey of Luzerne County. The landscape is a study in varied land use, where the suburban clusters of Beech Mountain Lakes and South Heberton sit adjacent to the protected wildlands of Nescopeck State Park. Higher elevations such as Buck Mountain and Little Nescopeck Mountain define the topography, while local history is marked by the presence of the Freeland Lookout Tower and established communities like Pardeesville and Upper Lehigh. The network of waterways including Nescopeck Creek and Little Nescopeck Creek flows through a mix of recreational and industrial corridors, reflecting the area's transition from its traditional coal-mining roots to a contemporary residential and outdoor-focused economy, anchored by landmarks such as the Edgewood Pines Golf Course.
