About this map

The Old Newburgh Turnpike and Bethany Turnpike intersect the high country of Wayne County, tracing the early transport routes through Mount Pleasant and Lebanon. This postwar study reveals a landscape defined by its water and woods, from the State Fish Hatchery on Miller Pond to the secluded Camp Towanda at Sunset Lake. The settlement of Aldenville sits near the confluence of the Lackawaxen River and Cramer Creek, serving as a focal point for the western reaches of the quadrangle.

Local history is preserved in the location of the St Cecelia Ch and various district schools like School No 3 and Pleasant Valley Sch. The topographical detail captures the descent of Dyberry Creek toward Tanners Falls, where the West Branch and East Branch converge. This map provides a detailed record of small-town Pennsylvania before modern development, including landmarks such as Red Schoolhouse Corner and the East Dyberry Cem.
