1947 Map of Wilkes-Barre West

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The anthracite coal industry's influence is evident across this 1947 landscape, where industrial infrastructure and dense residential settlements crowd the valley of the Susquehanna River. Extensive clusters of Strip Mine and Mine Dump labels trace the extraction economy from Plymouth and Larksville down through Nanticoke. The transportation network is remarkably complex, featuring the Central RR of New Jersey, Pennsylvania RR, and the Wilkes-Barre Connecting RR serving the colliery towns.
