About this map

The confluence of the Lackawanna River and Susquehanna River anchors this industrial landscape in Luzerne County, where rail lines like Conrail and the Delaware and Hudson converge at Pittston Junc. The map captures a densely settled valley defined by the transition from coal-era infrastructure to mid-century growth, evidenced by the expansive Coxton Yards and sprawling Strip Mine operations near Old Boston.
