THE EATON LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Glaciated High Allegheny Plateau setting.
Eaton township has 36 square miles of land in Wyoming County. Its Census reference point is in Glaciated High Allegheny Plateau, within North Central Appalachians.
Forest-covered plateau surfaces, high hills and low mountains are underlain by layered sedimentary rocks. Most of this region escaped continental glaciation, leaving deeply cut upland terrain.

Eaton and Wyoming County
Eaton is associated with Wyoming County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Eaton by land and water
The Census records 1.12 square miles of water within Eaton, or 3% of its total area. It is 1.1 percentage points higher than the 1.9% recorded for Wyoming County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Eaton township has 40.5 times the land area of nearby Tunkhannock borough (0.89 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
