About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate this 2019 survey of Lackawanna County, where the sprawling heights of The Hogback and Blair Hill overlook a network of high-plateau wetlands and small settlements. The borough of Moscow serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Roaring Brook and surrounded by numerous historic burial grounds including Saint Catherines Cem and Fairview Memorial Estate Cem. To the west, the landscape is defined by the waters of Maple Lake, which is bordered by the Maple Lake United Methodist Church and its associated cemetery.

Transit routes and small hamlets like Quinlan Corners, Fells Corners, and Tooley Corners reveal the persistent rural character of the region despite its proximity to Scranton. Significant ecological features such as Mullen Swamp, Bear Swamp, and Langan Swamp are interspersed among the rugged terrain of Coon Hill and Panther Hill. Local aviation is represented by the Lazy J Ranch Airport near Spring Brook, providing a detailed look at the modern land use and historical intersections of this Pennsylvania mountain landscape.
