1947 Map of Wilkes-Barre West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Plymouth and the surrounding coal-country settlements define this reach of the Susquehanna River, where the industrial character of the Wyoming Valley is etched into the landscape. The map shows a region shaped by extractive industry, where numerous strip mines and mine dumps sit adjacent to established neighborhoods like Larksville, Breslau, and Buttonwood. Significant family and local history details are preserved, from Shawnee Cem in the north to the small crossroads of Vandermark Corners in the south.
