USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Scranton is depicted during a period of significant post-war urban expansion, with purple photogrammetric revisions from 1969 showing the growth of the city and nearby Dunmore and Dickson City. The city's dense industrial and educational core is well-defined, featuring Scranton University, Marywood College, and the sprawling International Correspondence Schools. The Erie-Lackawanna RR and the Lackawanna River serve as the primary corridors through the valley, while the residential neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Green Ridge climb the surrounding slopes.
