About this map

The Susquehanna River bends sharply through Wyoming County, framing the historic borough of Tunkhannock. This landscape is defined by its dramatic waterway junctions, where Tunkhannock Creek, Bowman Creek, and Jackson Creek converge with the river. Significant local elevation is noted at Avery Mountain and Osterhout Mountain, while First Island, Second Island, and Third Island break the river's flow.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-placed burial grounds including Sunnyside Cemetery and Jackson Cemetery. Small settlements like Eatonville, Lemon, and Kaiserville dot the surrounding hills, connected by a network of winding roads. To the north, Lake Carey serves as a prominent water feature near Cooper Corners, while the unusual geometry of Oxbow Lake and its inlet provides a distinct landmark for the area. Transport and leisure facilities are represented by Skyhaven Airport and the Shadow Brook Golf Course just east of the main town center.
