About this map

The Moosic Mountains divide this landscape where the coal-country industrial heritage of the Lackawanna River valley meets the high plateau of Wayne County. In the west, the urban density of Carbondale and Simpson is defined by a complex grid of streets like Salem Ave and Canaan St, flanked by vital water works including the Brownell Reservoir and Belmont Reservoir. To the east, the terrain opens into a land of glacial lakes and religious history, anchored by the St Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary near South Canaan. This transition from the narrow, populated river valley over Salem Hill to the scattered ponds and cemeteries of the uplands, such as Old Canaan Cem and Telshaw Pond, illustrates the distinct geographic shift between Pennsylvania's anthracite region and its rural northern highlands.
