About this map

The Lackawaxen River and the branching waters of the West Branch Dyberry Creek define the geography of this part of Wayne County in the late 1940s. At the southern bend of the river, the settlement of Aldenville serves as a local hub, while smaller crossroads like Whites Valley and Red Schoolhouse Corner punctuate the landscape. The region's commitment to conservation and recreation is evident in the presence of the State Fish Hatchery near Miller Pond and Camp Towanda along the eastern ridge.

Industrial and social history is grounded in locations like Tanners Falls and the numerous small schools serving the rural population, including School No 3 and the Pleasant Valley Sch. Transportation follows historical routes such as the Old Newburgh Turnpike and Bethany Road, which connect the scattered hamlets of Siko, Dyberry, and Cold Spring. For genealogists, the East Dyberry Cem and the St Cecelia Ch provide specific points of interest for tracing family ties in the northern Pennsylvania uplands.
