About this map

Tunkhannock Creek and its tributaries carve a complex landscape across this portion of Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties, as documented in this 1940s survey. The terrain is defined by family-named landmarks like Strickland Hill, Jennings Hill, and Valentine Hill, reflecting generations of land use. Significant rail infrastructure from the Lehigh Valley and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroads dictates the placement of transit hubs like Factoryville Sta and Hopbottom (Foster Sta).

Local civic life is visible through the concentration of rural institutions, from Keystone College and the Skyhaven Landing Field to numerous small schools like Wallace Hill Sch and Arch Sch. The area around Lake Winola and Lake Carey shows a mix of recreational and residential development, while the Susquehanna River flows through the southwest, passing by the settlement at Eatonville and the Osterhout PO.
