2016 Map of Pittston

About this map

The Susquehanna River flows through the heart of the Wyoming Valley, where the confluence with the Lackawanna River at Pittston Junction anchors a dense network of river-fronting boroughs. This 2016 record shows the enduring landscape of northeastern Pennsylvania's coal-and-rail corridor, from the residential grids of West Pittston and Duryea to the aviation hub at Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport. The valley floor is punctuated by prominent river features like Wintermoot Island and Monocanock Island, while the western ridge is defined by Peterson Mtn and Mt Lookout. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Forty Fort Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, while place names like Old Boston and Port Griffith Ewen speak to the region's industrial and anthracite heritage.
