USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the center of this 1949 survey, shaping the transport and settlement patterns of Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Wyoming Counties. The Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Sullivan Trail follow the river's tight curves, connecting riverside settlements like Ransom and West Falls. A prominent landmark in the south is the Ransom-Newton State Hospital, while the Scranton Airport sits on a plateau near Griffin Hill to the northeast.
