Wyoming County History, Geography, Geology and Vegetation (The following excerpts are taken from A Natural Inventory of Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, 1995, by The Nature Conservancy.) Wyoming County, an area of almost 400 square miles, is a rural county located in northeastern Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna River flows through the middle of the county from northwest to southeast and most development is concentrated within its corridor. The southwestern plateau is forested and mostly within state game lands; much of the rest of the county is given over to a mix of agriculture, forest and small villages. In 1990, the population of the county was just over 28,000 (1990 census) and appears to be growing. Both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are within commuting distances of much of the county. Wyoming County is also approximately 150 miles from New York City and Philadelphia, allowing easy access for vacationers and tourists. The Endless Mountains, the lakes and creeks, and the pastoral scenery attract many people to the county; these natural qualities are important to both the economic and social well-being of county residents. Second home developments exist around Lake Carey and Lake Winola while hunting and fishing camps are found primarily in the southwestern corner. The rugged hills and forests of the southwest do not lend themselves to development or agriculture but they attract hunters, hikers, and winter sports enthusiasts. The many trout streams that drain this region attract fishermen while the forests of this region provide timber for the wood products industry. The Susquehanna River is a major recreational and scenic resource. Agriculture, although declining in acres, is still an important economic component of the county. Glaciers have modified the landscape throughout the county. Deposits of rock, sand, clay and silt left directly by the glacier are called unstratified deposits or glacial till. Some of these deposits are as much as 300 feet thick. As a result of the glaciers, many of the soils that developed on till are too stony or wet for cultivation. Many wetlands have formed in the depressions that were the result of glacial scouring and the deposition of ice blocks (kettleholes), as well as glacial deposits that blocked drainage channels and altered stream flow. Stratified sands and gravels deposited by glacial meltwaters are located along many of the major rivers and creeks. The area known as Jayne Bend on the Susquehanna River is a glacial river terrace. Sand and gravel mining operations occur on some of the larger stratified deposits. On a broad scale of vegetation patterns, Wyoming County is located within two major forest types Appalachian Oak Forest and Northern Hardwood Forest (Kuchler 1964, Bailey 1980). A broad band of Appalachian Oak Forest, somewhat analogous to Brauns (1950) Oak-Chestnut Forest, follows the Susquehanna River valley. The river, at elevations between 660 feet where it enters the county in the northwest and 580 feet as it leaves the county in the southeast, is muc
