1976 Map of Wilkes-Barre West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dominant path through this 1976 orthophotoquad, anchoring a dense corridor of Pennsylvania coal-country settlements. The imagery captures the urban footprints of Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke at a time when the region's industrial legacy and mid-century layout were clearly visible from above. Smaller boroughs like Plymouth, Larksville, and Sugar Notch are tightly clustered along the river valley, showing the concentrated development typical of the Wyoming Valley.
