About this map

Tunkhannock serves as the focal point of this Wyoming County landscape, situated at the prominent bend where Tunkhannock Creek meets the Susquehanna River. The map illustrates a community anchored by its river valley geography, with the Roosevelt Highway and Lehigh Valley rail lines following the water’s edge. Local infrastructure is well-defined, ranging from the Skyhaven Airport to the Athletic Fields and Golf Course that serve the borough's residents.

Beyond the town center, the terrain rises into the surrounding peaks like Osterhout Mountain and Miller Mtn. Rural life is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Eatonville Sch, Marcy Ch, and several well-maintained grounds such as Sunnyside Cem. To the north, the cluster of cottages and roads surrounding Lake Carey suggests a long-standing recreation area, while smaller settlements like Eatonville and Dixon highlight the distributed nature of early 21st-century Pennsylvania river towns.
