About this map

The North Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the heart of Luzerne and Wyoming counties, anchoring a landscape defined by the convergence of heavy industry and river-town settlement. This 1890s survey documents the intricate rail infrastructure that fueled the Wyoming Valley's growth, including the Lehigh Valley Railroad North Branch and the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Division. Along the riverbanks, concentrated urban development in Pittston, West Pittston, and Wyoming contrasts with the high, wooded terrain of Campbell Ledge and Miller Mt.
