About this map

Steamtown National Historic Site and the Lackawanna River anchor this detailed study of the Pennsylvania anthracite region's urban heart. The landscape reveals a dense network of neighborhoods, from Hyde Park and Green Ridge to Keyser Valley, each defined by its relationship to the valley's industrial and rail infrastructure. Cultural and religious history is deeply inscribed on the terrain through an extensive collection of ethnic and denominational burial grounds, including the Lithuanian National Cem, Saint Vladimir Italian Cem, and the Russian Orthodox Cem of Saints Peter and Paul.

Academic and civic institutions such as the University of Scranton and Marywood University stand alongside major geological features like the Nay Aug Gorge and Bell Mtn. The map tracks the transition from the densely built city center near the Lackawanna County Courthouse to the suburban elevations of Clarks Summit and Clarks Green, illustrating how the valley's steep topography has shaped a century of urban development.
