About this map

The Lackawanna River corridor defines the industrial and urban backbone of this Northeastern Pennsylvania valley, where dense neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Green Ridge flank the central business district. The landscape reflects a transition from the intensive rail and coal heritage found at the Steamtown National Historic Site and the Clark Tunnel to the expanding suburban reaches of Clarks Summit and Clarks Green to the north.

Institutional landmarks are prominent throughout the city, including Marywood Univ and the University of Scranton, alongside significant religious sites like Yeshivath Beth Moshe. The valley is hemmed in by Bald Mtn and West Mountain, while lower elevations are marked by a high density of memorial sites such as Cathedral Cem, Dunmore Cem, and Washburn Street Cem, offering a comprehensive record of the region's diverse community growth.
