1946 Map of Kingston

About this map

Misericordia College and the surrounding heights of Dallas anchor the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, where the valley begins its descent toward the industrial heart of the Wyoming Valley. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the wooded slopes of Chestnut Ridge and Bunker Hill to the densely settled riverfront boroughs. Along the Susquehanna River, the urban corridor of Kingston, Forty Fort, and Edwardsville shows a tight-knit grid of streets and institutional landmarks, including Wyoming Seminary and Nesbitt Memorial Hospital.
