1947 Map of Pittston

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves through the heart of the Wyoming Valley, where a dense industrial and rail corridor connects Pittston, Wyoming, and Exeter. In the late 1940s, the landscape is a complex network of transportation and memory, anchored by the Wyoming Monument and significant institutions like the Wilkes-Barre Day Sch. The confluence of the Lackawanna River at Pittston Junc serves as a pivot point for a heavy concentration of rail lines, including the Erie Railroad and Lehigh Valley Railroad, which navigate the steep terrain around Campbell Ledge.
