1946 Map of Waymart

About this map

The Clinton Mountains and Moosic Mountains dominate this 1946 topography, forming a high, wooded barrier between the anthracite industrial centers and the farming plateaus to the east. In the west, Carbondale and Simpson sit along the Lackawanna River, where the landscape is heavily marked by strip mines and the busy corridors of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. These industrial sites contrast sharply with the eastern half of the map, which centers on the borough of Waymart and the rural crossroads of South Canaan.
