2019 Map of Wilkes-Barre East

About this map

Wilkes-Barre anchors the northwestern corner of this study, where the urban grid gives way to the steep elevations of Wilkes-Barre Mtn and Wyoming Mtn. This 2019 survey documents the complex interface between the developed valley and the forested uplands of Luzerne County. Significant local history is preserved in several ecclesiastical sites, including the Holy Trinity Lithuanian Cem and the Saint Marys Church of the Maternity Cem Old near Georgetown. To the south, the landscape is defined by natural water features like Crystal Lake and Mud Run Swamp, along with specialized aviation infrastructure at Rosenzweig Airport. The southeastern reach shows the distinct character of Bear Creek Village and Penn Lake Park, where local industry is still hinted at by labels like Ochre Mill and Oliver Mills. The map captures a topography shaped by deep drainages such as Deep Hollow and the notable Whirlpool Canyon Falls.
