Anyone have link to a historic map of White Haven 1824 -1900? Looking for street level detail.
Thanks all.

Only good place ever existed in White Haven was the Ugly Mug.

But I will look to see what maps I have.

SCHOOL HOUSE PARK at Wilkes Barre & Buffalo sts.
Looks intresting if still a Available to hunt

Especially if it's not used as a park anymore.

That park caught my eye, so I zoomed in on google maps, looks like a small section remains.

Here's that spot from www.maps.live.com.

Looks like TONS of houses in the downtown area from the 1873 Atlas are still there.
I bet there's tons of keepers in those yards around there!
I've done some detecting in White Haven before.
I got a couple friends there.
Maybe it's time to call them again!
