About this map

North Mountain and the Fairmount Hills dominate this mid-century landscape in Luzerne County, where small agricultural and timber communities were connected by a network of winding valley roads. The settlement of Mountain Springs is situated near the Splash Dam and Dam No 2, indicating the area's history of water management for logging or industrial use. Along the central corridor, the village of Kyttle serves as a local hub, home to the Retreat Sch and Mooretown Ch.

To the southeast, the terrain softens into a region defined by numerous small water bodies like Sylvan Lake, North Lake, and Grassy Pond. Local family and community life is deeply rooted here, evidenced by the presence of institutions such as Mott Sch and Bethel Ch, alongside small cemeteries like Luteer Cem and Moore Cem. The map reveals a transition from the steep, forested slopes of Kocher Mtn to the more developed township lands of Ross and Hunlock.
