About this map

The Wyoming Valley urban corridor meets the steep slopes of Larksville Mountain and Back Mountain in this detailed survey. The map documents a dense concentration of religious and cultural heritage sites, particularly evident in the cluster of ethnic and denominational cemeteries like Saint John's Russian Orthodox Cem and Saint Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church Cem near Pringle and Luzerne. These sites, along with the sprawling campus of Misericordia University in Dallas, reflect the region's deep-rooted social fabric.

Industrial and natural history converge along the Susquehanna River, where the Luzerne County Levee Trl follows the shoreline. The transition from the valley floor to the upland plateaus is marked by significant water features such as the Huntsville Reservoir and numerous small drainages like Toby Creek. For those tracing local history, family-named landmarks like the Lamoreaux Family Burying Ground provide specific points of interest amidst the suburban development of Kingston and Forty Fort.
