About this map

Dyberry Creek and the Lackawaxen River define the drainage of this Wayne County landscape, where the historic Newburgh Turnpike and Old Newburgh Turnpike cut across the high ridges of Mount Pleasant and Lebanon. The map reveals a post-war rural infrastructure transitioning into a modern recreation and conservation area, evidenced by the State Fish Hatchery near Miller Pond and the established Camp Towanda by Sunset Lake.

Genealogists can find localized landmarks like St Cecelia Ch in Whites Valley, the East Dyberry Cem on the eastern edge, and the rural School No 3. Settlements such as Aldenville and Cold Spring anchor the valley corridors, while the presence of numerous small bodies of water like Glass Pond No 3 and Rosner Pond illustrates the water-rich geography of the northern Poconos region during the mid-20th century.
