2023 Map of Wilkes-Barre West

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dominant path through this corner of Luzerne County, anchoring a landscape where dense urban grids meet the steep elevations of Wilkes-Barre Mountain and Penobscot Mountain. This modern survey details the intricate settlement patterns of the Wyoming Valley, from the industrial heritage of Plymouth Junction and Nanticoke to the residential corridors of Lee Park and Franklin Junction. The area is notably dense with commemorative and religious sites, including the Oak Lawn Cem and Mausoleum and numerous denominational grounds like the Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Cem. Educational hubs are prominent here as well, with the campuses of Wilkes University and Luzerne County Community College integrated into the city fabric. South of the river valley, the terrain shifts toward more wooded heights, hiding Nuangola Lake and the wetlands of Beaver Dam Swamp among the ridges.
