About this map

The Lehigh River carves through this Luzerne County landscape, anchoring the borough of White Haven and its surrounding communities. By the early 21st century, the area shows a distinct blend of residential enclaves like Hickory Hills and recreational spaces such as the Pocono Hershey Resort Golf Course. The map details the water management infrastructure of the region, from the White Haven Dam and Penn Lake Dam to the complex of smaller structures like the Santer Springs Dam and Ray T Mantz Dam.

Transport and utility history is preserved through labels like Scale Siding and Bear Creek Junction, reflecting the rail and industrial legacy of the river corridor. Residential patterns are evident in the layouts of Penn Lake Park and East Side, while the presence of Saint Patrick Cemetery and White Haven Center provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians. To the west, the terrain rises toward Mount Yeager and Green Mountain, where the headwaters of Nescopeck Creek and Pond Creek begin their descent.
