1947 Map of Wilkes-Barre East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wilkes-Barre sits at the foot of Wilkes-Barre Mountain, where mid-century industrial expansion meets the rugged ridges of the Wyoming Valley. This survey reveals a landscape defined by complex transportation corridors, featuring the Central RR of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley RR threading through the gaps toward settlements like Laurel Run and Oliver Mills. The presence of a strip mine near the city edge contrasts with the burgeoning residential developments at Boulevard Manor and Mountain Park.
