About this map

Wyoming Valley urban and suburban development dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the Susquehanna River defines the edge of established boroughs. The densely gridded streets of Forty Fort, Luzerne, and Edwardsville transition into the more modern residential expansions of Shavertown and Trucksville as the elevation rises. These communities are linked by the prominent corridor of the Memorial Hwy, which cuts through the gap between Larksville Mountain and Bunker Hill.

To the northwest, the character shifts toward the open water and recreation-oriented landscape of Huntsville Reservoir and Frances Slocum Lake. The borough of Dallas serves as a secondary hub, surrounded by smaller residential clusters like Druid Hills and Maplewood Heights. This survey documents the mature state of the region's transportation network, including the local routes threading through Chestnut Ridge and the various creeks—Toby Cr, Huntsville Cr, and Abrahams Cr—that historically dictated the placement of these Pennsylvania settlements.
