1947 Map of Wilkes-Barre West

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding anthracite coal country are shown here in a detailed postwar portrait, shortly before major industrial transitions. The landscape is defined by the Susquehanna River valley, where settlements like Plymouth and Larksville crowd the northern bank while the city center sits protected by a levee. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into Wilkes-Barre Mountain and Penobscot Mountain, where the geography shifts from dense urban grids to isolated reservoirs and ponds.
