Maple Run

Maple Run is a tributary of Kitchen Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

Maple Run begins on the eastern side of a mountain known as Grand View in Fairmount Township.

After some distance, it gradually turns southwest, leaving the valley and receiving an unnamed tributary from the right.

After several tenths of a mile, it crosses Pennsylvania Route 118, passes through a wetland, and receives an unnamed tributary from the left.

It then receives one more unnamed tributary from the left and reaches its confluence with Kitchen Creek.

[1] Maple Run joins Kitchen Creek 3.08 miles (4.96 km) upstream of its mouth.

[1] For a significant portion of its length, Maple Run flows over alluvium, mostly in its middle reaches.

It flows through a small patch of wetland in its middle reaches, just south of Pennsylvania Route 118.

[2] The stream is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Red Rock.

Joseph Moss also settled in the valley of the stream south of Peter Boston in the early 1800s.
