1893 Map of Harvey Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Dutch Mountain and North Mountain dominate the topography of this corner of Luzerne and Wyoming counties, where the high plateaus of the Endless Mountains meet early industrial corridors. The local economy in the late nineteenth century was clearly driven by timber and transport, evidenced by the presence of the Lewis Lumber R.R. and the Lehigh Valley R.R. cutting through the narrow valleys. These rail lines followed watercourses like Bowman Creek and Mehoopany Creek, facilitating the movement of resources from remote camps to larger markets.
