THE TAYLOR LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Anthracite Subregion setting.

Taylor borough has 5.2 square miles of land in Lackawanna County. Its Census reference point is in Anthracite Subregion, within Ridge and Valley.

Long, roughly parallel ridges and valleys follow folded and faulted rock layers. Limestone valleys, sandstone ridges and other geologic contrasts produce varied terrain and numerous regional springs and caves.

Regional context: Ridge and Valley ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Taylor and Lackawanna County

Taylor is associated with Lackawanna 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.

Lackawanna County

Taylor by land and water

The Census records 0 square miles of water within Taylor, or 0% of its total area. It is 1.3 percentage points lower than the 1.3% recorded for Lackawanna County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Taylor borough has 1.5 times the land area of nearby Old Forge borough (3.43 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Taylor land.

These are questions we consider as a potential buyer, based on this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. Our purchase decision depends on the actual parcel.

01

Locate the parcel within Taylor

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Taylor. Check the Lackawanna County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Anthracite Subregion setting

Anthracite Subregion belongs to Ridge and Valley. Does the parcel follow a valley floor or cross a ridge, and which site-specific water and access records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Old Forge

Old Forge is 2.2 miles southwest of the Taylor reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Taylor
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Taylor?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Lackawanna County. Taylor’s 5.2 square miles of land include many different property situations; we consider the exact parcel for our own purchase.

Is every Taylor property in Anthracite Subregion?+

No. Anthracite Subregion is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Taylor boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Old Forge as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.2 miles southwest of Taylor’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Taylor?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell USA Land Offers what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
