USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Lackawanna River corridor in 1947 reveals a densely developed industrial and urban landscape, dominated by the sprawling city of Scranton. The map details the complex rail infrastructure of the Erie Railroad and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western as they navigate the valley between Bald Mountain and Bell Mountain. While the riverbanks are lined with neighborhood hubs like Hyde Park and Providence, the western slopes feature specialized institutions such as the West Mountain Sanatorium and St Stanislaus Cem.
