About this map

The Susquehanna River corridor anchors this late 19th-century study, showcasing the dense industrial and rail infrastructure of the Wyoming Valley. Major hubs like Wilkesbarre, Plymouth, and Nanticoke are linked by a complex web of railroads, including the Bloomsburg Division and Lehigh Valley R. R.. The map reveals the region's coal-driven development through smaller mining settlements and company patches such as Moffatt Patch and Sugar Notch.
