About this map

Noxen serves as a central point in this topographic study of the Wyoming and Luzerne County border, where the village is situated at the confluence of several mountain drainages. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high ridges, including Schooley Mtn and North Mtn, which frame the winding path of Bowman Creek. This waterway and its many tributaries, such as Hettesheimer Run and Beaver Run, dictate the placement of roads and small settlements like Stull and Evans Falls.

To the south, the terrain descends toward the northern shore of Harveys Lake, where the Alderson Cem sits near the water. The map traces a network of rural routes like Dimmick Hill Rd and Buckwheat Hollow Rd, connecting isolated homesteads and ridges like Grassy Ridge. This 2019 survey documents a region where contemporary residential patterns still follow the steep natural contours established by the Endless Mountains geography.
