1893 Map of Pittston

About this map

Pittston and its neighbors along the North Branch Susquehanna River form a dense industrial and transit corridor in this late nineteenth-century survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of rail infrastructure, including the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad, and the Central Railroad of New Jersey, which facilitated the movement of coal and goods through the Wyoming Valley. These lines converged at critical points like Lackawanna & Bloomsburg Junction.
