About this map

Nescopeck Mountain anchors the center of this southern Luzerne County landscape, separating the residential expansions of Drums and Saint Johns from the northern rural drainages of Big Wapwallopen Creek. The settlement pattern follows a series of valley floors and historic road corridors, where small clusters like Moyers Grove and Hobbie maintain their distinct identities alongside numerous family and denominational cemeteries. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including the Old River Church Cemetery and the Everard Family Cemetery, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of the German and Scots-Irish families who settled these ridges.

Transportation infrastructure defines the lower half of the map, where the modern interstate corridor intersects with older routes like the Trolley Bed Road. Along the southern border, the village of Sybertsville sits near the winding path of Little Nescopeck Creek, while the Double D Skyranch Airport serves the local aviation needs near Saint Johns. These varied features illustrate the evolution of the region from a purely agricultural and mountainous timber area into a complex network of small communities and transit links.
