Structures FOUND on Google Maps! Abandoned??? 

What did you think of the findings? Should I revisit this place again when it's warmer? I can tell you that I learned a little bit more info about this area and the history of this particular area is pretty incredible.

Every video is an adventure for this armchair explorer. Thank you for every one!

The structure with the concrete pad and access hatch door probably has a pump inside. It looks like a sewage lift station to me. It's common to find lift stations at the lowest elevations, which tend to be where streams run. (Lift stations basically pump sewage uphill). The other structure has a radio antenna and a telephone line--these are probably for a SCADA system, so the utility can remotely monitor them. It may house the controls for the sewage lift station pump. I find it somewhat surprising that the utility that owns this stuff does not have a sign with their contact phone number in case of an emergency---most utilities around here are very good about marking what is theirs with a phone number.

That appears to be maybe the old Dunmore foundry area. The giant 16" water line would then make sense.... from the civil war on that foundry made just about about anything. it shut down after WWI some time due to being in operation since 1821. The foundry had a dozen names as well. I believe it is just west of the Avoca Airport. Don't quote me on that one but you can see structures just like those from Nanticoke all the way thru that area up to Scranton and above. Even farther south west past Ashland too has alot of stuff like that where steel and wire was made even nails and tin roofing too.. Dunmore Scranton even the old Brewery in Wilkes Barre used giant 12" 14" & 16" piping to feed foundries factories and other stuff too. Mining brought the water to the surface and the area harnessed the water. Same could be said in the Allentown area as to how many slate and Gypsum mines came about pure water just started to flow to the surface for the taking. The area this guy is in would have many roads and RR tracks and I mean alot of em... I am not sure what that foundry really made... Its just I stumbled on stuff like that with an adventure pal and it does blow your mind to know someone made all those stone structures which was mainly the Army Corps of Engineers not local industry not at all. The Army Corps of Engineers purpose was to harness natural resources for war and peace time purposes when abundant FREE resources were discovered. That is not natural structures they served a purpose and maybe still do,,, Later in the 20th century came 20" and 24" and even 36" water pipes after WWII ended. Those structures usually have a date on em but not all of em... The areas from Salisbury Twsp near Allentown all the way to the ruins of the Bethlehem Steel plant also confirm that too... When the Bethlehem Steel was torn down there were 48" water lines running right up out of the Lehigh River right to the forges and coke works and power houses. The Bethlehem Steel Corp actually requested that dams be added to the river to slow the flow of waters to a more stable flow rates rather than adding pumps. After the Dams were placed like the one at A&B meats in Allentown the steel company added pumps and electrical control systems... How do I know that? I worked there & at PB&E RR too...

The underwater footage was absolutely mesmerizing. ❤❤ The sounds, the views and the leaves resting on the river bottom all accompanied with the little fishies ❤❤❤

I'm from Florida, but I managed to find this spot on google and was able to find some old surveys of the area done by the USGS. You are likely correct that the separate arched tunnels were one long tunnel before they collapsed. To separate lines of an old gravity railroad joined together right over that brook, which would require a wider than usual bridge. Also, the newer building with the gantry is a water pump station for fresh water. I seen a couple suggest a sewer lift station, but it would be very irresponsible to run sewer pipes in a brook bed. The gantry is for replacing the 25 to 30 horsepower turbine pump that is housed inside (there are likely at least 2 or more pumps). They are typically too heavy to move by hand. I tried to stay vague enough to keep the location a secret, I know you normally prefer the locations are kept a bit of a secret. Thanks for taking us along.

And yes please go back ❤

I still think that TV is restorable!😂 Just wanted to say again, love the sound of the leaves crunching as you walk on them and all the sounds of the water. Beautiful underwater footage with really clear water, and it was fun to see the fish! I definitely think you should go back to explore those fascinating arched culverts! So cool that you can get spring water too. I think it's awesome you found the structures and as always you find interesting items along the journey. I meant to tell you the first time that your photos are beautiful! Love and enjoyed this video each time I watched it! Thank you JP! 💙💙

I'd definitely be checking the local historical society records and property maps.

I can remember this, the under water footage was cool and the picture montage at the end, some stunning pics, nice video jp 👍

the best ever i love thes kinder videos 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

So much to love in this video ....Fall leaves , flowing water , beautiufl old structures...and a gorgeous photo montage ...💙👍💙

I all ways enjoy your videos 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 5:02

Love your videos 💙

This is my favorite of your recent videos. Love the fall colors and rustle of the leaves as you walk and exploring by walking through woods. I believe you should come back to this area again. I bet there is plenty more to discover. ❤

Another great explore! Nice to see some wild trout in the stream. 💙

Archeology, is the most captured, corrupted, and unreliable scientific discipline of all, by orders of magnitude. Don't let false "experts" influence you, when you are clearly looking at something ancient. What does it look like to YOU? How old do YOU think it is?? If we ALL see the same thing, what is true?? Is it what our intuition tells us all, or is it the word of some professor who got tenure for his troubles??? Come on guys, the stuff in these videos is incredible, and sparks the same questions in every single person who sees them. There is very good reason for that. We have all been lied to, and at this point in our ongoing history, that should not be very hard to believe...

Great video! Thanks for taking us with you on this exploration!

I do the same things as you go on google maps and find something and go there

Let’s go let’s go adventure ✌️🌺💕👵

When I watch your vids I actually say aloud "why am I watching this." Then I click on another one.

A little too many water features but otherwise enjoyable.

So awesome as usual! And you are going back! Take someone with you, please? There had to have been a reason they made those culverts. Too perfectly made. And the coal. Water. All looks like a coal mining area to me. I could be totally wrong also. But knowing you, plans are being processed. Thank you for sharing this amazing find! 💙

Beautiful scenery 👌

Those R more than likely RR beds teaming with coal chucks which means more than likely there really was a foundry back there someplace... CK with the Army Corps of Engineers not all of that is accurate either some historical places just give what garbage they have on hand..

That May have been a , form for Making the Arch, That 1 of likely 20 or more, to hold till mortar Dried.

Railroad, probably for coal mining way back 100 years ago or more, maybe 150 years ago now!

This was an amazing find JP! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your return to this site in warmer weather! Stay well!!

Check the history of the civilian conservation corps in the area, this looks like their handiwork.

Nature takes over roads incredibly fast! And if you look around a lot of those trees are not super old growth or anything.

💙what a great and interesting video

All of the walls n structures along the water are ancient ! Look at those arches an huge stone , most definitely older than 1800s

The arched culvert is definitely older than the 1900's. No doubt. The other may also be, but I expect that it's actually been originally older and then rebuilt more recently as the base and some of the exterior parts look a lot older.

Nice fish!

That 80's -90's TV no lowball offers i know what i got !

You Should Metal Detect it, There could be anything in there, Pushed down though the years.

I'm not a betting man, but I believe it was a dam not a bridge thingy.

The curved steel is how they built the arching see it a lot in English tunnels

there is an arched culvert in dupont

Outstanding, thank you.

I guessing it could have been a damn not a bridge thingy.

Yeah another Google maps video thanks jp

What county is that in?

Just as good the 2nd time around as was the first . 🙃

@mind unveiled he shows where it appears Greeks were in athens ga. Take a peek

💙 well I watched it all the way through the 2nd time and as said before I'll be here when you come back in the spring for a new adventure at this location!

there was a date on the building at 31-40,

That is some beautiful stone tunnels and the fall colors, too. Excellent video, JP. 👍

Central California watching 💙

❤ @JP videos hi my friend. Im amazed that some of the walls in the culverts looked like old world construction. Meaning finished fronts and very tightly fitted with no morter. What do you think? We all know many were here long long long before columbus

Hey Jay! I really enjoyed this great adventure, Google maps find and awesome finds along the way!!! I loved the culverts with the water running down rocks making a trickling sound!!! The buildings are very interesting!!! I loved seeing under the water and the fish that's there!!! I would love to see you go back during warmer weather 💙💙 Thank you Jay for all you do!!! I greatly appreciate you 💙💙 God bless you, keep you healthy and safe 🙏❤️🙏

I didn't mind re watching this. So many unexpected things came your way on this adventure ❤

I really love these exploration videos. I’ve always wanted to do something of the sort, but alas, there’s nothing to explore in my area.

Oh, I also follow the Trek Planner channel. He uses Google Earth to find old Native American ruins in Utah. I like these “modern” ruins.

A former family estate property?

it would help to know were you are

Everybody else saw the face in the middle of the culvert right? Not just me? Looks straight out of Neverending Story or LOTR.

Into the unknown! Your videos are true natural adventures, thank you!

JP, I used to play in an all originals rock band called Breaking Even. You are more than welcome to use our music from our last record “Transform,” anytime you’d like.

2nd viewing. Very enjoyable. Love the Autumn foliage. Think there was a gravity narrow-gauge RR for rock or coal there.💙

I wish, sometimes, that the south had not remained as agrarian as it did. A lot of this scenery wouldn’t be pent up on private property. Anyway, that thing that part of the access rd. Could go back to the 1800s. You didn’t say if it was paved but the road could’ve been paved at anytime. So I’m going to guess thè 1800s and it was paved later. Sucks that hat the buildings were posted but that’s the way she goes sometimes. Great job J! I love these adventures!💙💙

20:56 Get into meltology this is all melted ancient red brick buildings!

So much cool stuff to see in this video. But it's also a good asmr video with all of the water sounds and leaf-crunching. I look forward to the warm weather explore of this spot. 💙🩵 Thanks!

Not sure about the structures higher up, but the first stone culvert and the way the area around it is built up reminds me of an old rail line. Looks like the rail was taken out and the old line repurposed as a road. I don't know what area this is, but my guess higher up with the arched culvert was possibly for mining. The ached culvert was so they could have a wide flat area to work or process whatever they were getting. Since you found some coal up there I would think it was maybe remnants of a coal mine. The mine probably closed and the rail line at the first stone T culvert wasn't needed any more to haul what was being mined. The rail line was closed and later turned into a road. The area higher up with the arched culvert was also repurposed for something related to the water and the buildings added. One of the buildings had what looked like some eroded plaster or concrete on the walls to look like square block and all the buildings had concrete roofs. Those seem a little more modern than the arched culvert. The buildings are in way better shape than the arched culvert so it seems the culvert isn't needed for whatever those buildings are for. Just my guess on the area

til the next expedition Blue Heart...Emoji thing not working. Keep going forward JP

I really enjoyed this! Looking forward to your going back and exploring the culverts in warmer weather.

So the building that's fenced off with the "Gantry Crane". Is, if i'm not mistaken, a telephone exchange building. It's too big to be a lift station. I'd be curious of the GPS Coords. You should have gave us a walk around the building or at least found out who owns the building. but great video none the less 💙

Looks like a nice area.

This was probably for the water company before Brownell treatment plant was built, the building with the electric service is probably a pump house

Great video! 💙

What a fascinating area you live in. The older I get the more I appreciate the past. It’s hard to believe but 40 years ago I lived in York PA, a couple hours south… I’ve watched three of your videos this evening, enjoyed them all. Thanks for getting out to record history and sharing it. 💙

Google Earth shows a scar in the topography heading to the west towards Carbondale from the area of the arched culverts. Maybe there was some conveyor or rail heading to/from Racket Brook Colliery. Perhaps they covered the stream for both water control and to prevent spillage from an overhead conveyor fouling the flow. I love to follow along on these. Fun!

always love watching your videos JP.!

Those are infiltration wells to collect drinking water water. They are most likely interconnected and feed that water main you followed up. Since they are so close to surface and a stream the water is considered " under the influence of surface water " and would require treatment before use.

The structure you are standing in front of at 31:41 has the date 1929 over the door.

I think those coverts were once continuous and have collapsed over time just my guess, love watching these types of videos I love to explore old places to learn the history of it. I think those building is some sort of a pumping station since you have power going to it. Neat find 👍

I believe the culvert you see are partially collapsed because you can see the walls at the bottom continue into the culvert

Lil fishy at very begining of the underwater view 👌 love this find. Great chill spot

More ruins. Incredible.

Beautiful scenery ❤

Blue Heart

Please make more of these google earth vid❤eos

The tunnel is from another time , another people awesole finds

💙 Love it man. Can't wait to go out and explore this year once Spring comes.

I was climbing up my furniture I didn't want to get wet ps I see you're channel name is Jpvideo I'm just curious because the first initial of my first name starts with a J and my last name starts with a p

JP, YOU find the most Beautiful Nature spots!! THANK YOU for taking us along!

I’m from Auckland New Zealand the water supply is from reservoir at the back of the Waitākere range for the pipe line they built tunnels and a small gauge rail for servicing the rail is still in operation this could be 100 yeas old with good gravity lines. Pumps not available and would need fuel and 24/7 operators. So the tunnel you have could be for the pipe and running water I know there was a pipe where did that finish was it removed

I watched this again, I do like seeing the autumn colours & of cause the adventure

Love these Google finds videos that you do JP. Keep up the good work! 💙

That was so beautiful. Just seeing the scenery and those culverts were enough. Thank you! 💙

I was gonna say that some of the structures would be there but those water falls and that filling stations are awesome finds and that beautiful area where you are at Jay.

Question.. are you trespassing or is it public land?

💙(x2)

1: 05 finders keepers. Your now entitled too properly disspose of your garden treasure. Or you'll fined by the state. I'm joking of course. But some politician's head gears are always turning on how too profit from online sources. Inventing the wheel. With his or her efforts not scrutenized enough due too your states needs of more funding for more lame projects.

Culvert looks more like 20th century work...

These are great videos!! You should read old newspapers. If you did you would get to read how America is way older than we’ve been lied to about. Those are ancient civilizations and structures

Nobody tell Shango066 about that TV. He'd have it working again in an afternoon and then burn it down to put it out of everyone's misery.

Thank you for the videos, Beautiful old history💙

💙 even better the second time. 😂😂😂

Hey at 31.39 of the video there is a date stamp on one of the buildings. Looks like 1925 or 1923. 💙
