2010 Map of Pittston

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a wide path through this industrial and residential corridor, where the confluence with the Lackawanna River historically anchored the region's transportation network. The rail infrastructure is prominent, featuring the extensive Pittston Yards and Pittston Junction, which supported the heavy industry of towns like West Pittston, Exeter, and Swoyersville. These settlements are tightly packed along the riverbanks, interspersed with significant landmarks like the Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport and several historic burial grounds, including the Forty Fort Cemetery and Memorial Shrine Cemetery. To the east, the terrain rises toward Peterson Mountain, while the river itself is dotted with several large landmasses such as Scovell Island and Wintermoot Island, reflecting the complex hydrology that shaped the development of the Wyoming Valley.
