Beautiful, antique map of Scranton, Pennsylvania and surrounding Lackawanna County & Luzerne County, area. This is an authentic 1893 edition, 1916 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Pennsylvania looked like more than 125 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every selling house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.
