1965 Map of Thornhurst

About this map

Lehigh River drainage patterns define this mid-1960s landscape where the borders of Lackawanna, Wayne, Monroe, and Luzerne counties meet. The small settlements of Clifton and Thornhurst anchor the northern reaches, while the emergence of Locust Lakes Village to the south reflects mid-century residential development near Locust Lake and East Lake. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and glacial features, including the curiously named City of Rome Swamp and City of Rome Dark Swamp, which sit alongside the large waters of Bradys Lake.
