2013 Map of Wilkes-Barre East

About this map

Wilkes-Barre anchors the northwestern corner of this map, showcasing the dense residential and commercial expansion that characterizes the area during the early 21st century. The terrain transitions sharply from the city’s streets, like Coal St and Highland Park Blvd, into the elevations of Wyoming Mountain. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and small, isolated settlements that reflect older industrial and recreational patterns. Localities such as Oliver Mills and Ochre Mill point to the historic importance of water power along the area's numerous runs and creeks. To the south, Glen Summit and Bear Creek Village sit among significant water bodies like Crystal Lake and Bear Creek Lake. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern transportation infrastructure, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange 36 and the small Rosenzweig Airport.
