1946 Map of Nanticoke
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Susquehanna River cuts a deep corridor through the ridges of Luzerne County, serving as the central axis for the anthracite coal region's industrial development. By the mid-1940s, the landscape around Nanticoke and Glen Lyon shows a mature industrial pattern, where the infrastructure of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Delaware and Pennsylvania Canal (Abandoned) line the riverbanks. The map documents the dense social fabric of these mining communities, dotted with numerous religious and social landmarks like St Michaels Cem, St Alberts Cem, and the State Hospital.
