About this map

The industrial legacy of the Lackawanna Valley is etched across this landscape, where dozens of anthracite-era mine shafts like the Marvine Shaft and Leggetts Creek Shaft sit adjacent to established neighborhoods. While Scranton and Dunmore form the dense urban core, the map reveals the complex infrastructure of a city built on coal, showing the Clark Tunnel and a dense network of transit lines including the Scranton Expy.

Beyond the city grid, the terrain rises toward West Mountain and Bald Mountain, housing numerous burial grounds such as Saint Stanislaus Cemetery and Abington Hill Cemetery. Educational and civic landmarks, including the University of Scranton and the prominent Lake Scranton reservoir, illustrate the 21st-century character of the region. The geography is defined by the Lackawanna River and its tributaries, which carved features like the Nay Aug Park Gorge, balancing the area's heavy industrial history with significant natural landmarks.
