2016 Map of Noxen

About this map

Bowman Creek carves a deep valley through the high ridges of the Endless Mountains region, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like Noxen and Stull. This 2016 survey highlights the topographical complexity of the Wyoming and Luzerne County border, where steep landforms such as Schooley Mtn and Sorber Mtn define the residential patterns. While the northern half of the map is dominated by forest and narrow hollows, the southern edge transitions toward the recreational and residential hub of Harveys Lake. Named landmarks like Hettesheimer Corners and Evans Falls mark old crossroads and bridge points, while smaller water features such as Galkas Pond and the headwaters of Beaver Run drain the plateau near Ruggles. The map illustrates the persistent influence of terrain on local infrastructure, from the winding path of State Route 3002 to the isolated homesteads along Roote Hollow.
