1893 Map of Scranton

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

The Lackawanna River valley serves as the industrial and transit spine of this late 19th-century landscape, dominated by the dense street grid of Scranton. Flanked by the Moosic Mountains, the valley is a complex network of collieries and rail lines, including the Delaware Lackawanna and Western and the Erie and Wyoming Valley Railroad. These corridors connect a string of coal-patch settlements and neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Providence, Priceburg, and Minooka.
