Map (continued from page 1) the Back Mountain,” said Fisher. Prior completing the map, Fisher had people research public and private documentation, check- ing and re-checking their informa- tion. The final step was actually driving each of the roads desig- nated on the map-most of the roads that exist in the Back Mountain. Fisher says 5,000 maps have been printed, 200 of them flat and suitable for framing or lamination. The maps sell for $3.50 each and the laminated version for $10.00. Although he is pleased with the 1991 map, Fisher found a number of changes he will make the next time around when he plans to update the map in four years. Fisher financed the maps through the advertisements of local businesses that appear on the pictorial side of the map. Designing the map was an as- pect Fisherand his colleagues were experts in but its circulation has been a real learning experience for him. “I had to learn about marketing because l wanted todo bulk sales,” Fisher said. The maps will be avail- able at Penn General, Rte. 415 and 118; Dallas Borough Building, Main Street, Dallas; N-Mart/New- ell Fuel, 108 Memorial Highway, Trucksville; Ken Cook's Store, Lehman Center, Lehman; Gas Stop 24, Memorial Hwy., Dallas; Valley Auto Club “AAA”, Route 309-415 Plaza, Dallas, and 100 Hazle Ave., Wilkes-Barre, with a special price for members; and the Luzerne County Fair by the Harveys Lake Fire Company. Other groups inter- ested in distributing the maps may contact Fisher at his office. The project has been so well received that Fisher is pleased to report that he and his staff will be mapping several other communi- ties including the the Poconos, Marshall's Creek, Lake Wal- lenpaupack, Clarks Summit, Dal- ton, Nicholson and Conyngham. He has also had requests trom the Berwick and Bloomsburg area. “People are actually contacting us,” Fisher said. “I knew we had a useful product but the response has been unbelievable.” In the Back Mountain the maps are not only useful for area resi- dents but a necessity for police and emergency services that have a problem keeping up with the con- tinued growth of the area. They are also useful for realtors, developers and contractors and for newcom- ers into the community. Pyros named to LCCC board Foundation Jeffrey J.
