The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the ridges of Luzerne County, separating Shickshinny Mtn from the industrial corridors of Glen Lyon and Wanamie. This survey reflects the dense cultural geography of the Wyoming Valley, marked by an extraordinary concentration of ethnic and denominational burial grounds such as the Saint Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cem and Exaltation of the Holy Cross and Saint Josephs Cem. These sites, along with the Saint Stanislaus Orphanage Cem, provide a spatial record of the immigrant communities that fueled the region's development.
