2019 Map of Freeland

About this map

Freeland and its surrounding anthracite-region settlements are the primary focus of this Luzerne County survey. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Little Nescopeck Mtn and Buck Mtn, with the town of Freeland itself densely clustered around a grid of streets including Centre St and Front St. Numerous ecclesiastical and burial sites are documented here, such as the Saint John's Roman Catholic Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Cem, which reflect the area's diverse ethnic heritage. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a series of smaller named locales like Honey Hole, Sand Spring, and Drums. Water features such as Nescopeck Creek and Lake of the Four Seasons wind through the valleys, while the intriguing label Hells Kitchen sits tucked near Green Mtn, hinting at the region's industrial or geographic folklore.
