About this map

Kingston and the surrounding communities of the Wyoming Valley sit along the western bank of the Susquehanna River in this detailed 2010 topographic record. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the dense residential corridors of Edwardsville, Luzerne, and Forty Fort and the prominent rising terrain of Larksville Mountain and Back Mountain to the west. Water management is a primary theme of the geography, evidenced by the Huntsville Reservoir, Frances Slocum Lake, and several smaller impoundments like Posten Pond and Lake Renee Dam.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Chapel Lawn Cemetery, which reflect the long-standing heritage of the local population. The transition from industrial infrastructure to residential development is visible near Harvey Junction, while named hills like Friendship Hill and Bunker Hill punctuate the ridges overlooking the valley floor.
