1994 Map of Aldenville

About this map

The West Branch Lackawaxen River and several major tributaries, including Middle Branch Dyberry Creek, define this pocket of Wayne County as it appeared in the mid-1990s. Historic transport routes like the Newburgh Turnpike and the Bethany Turnpike cut through the townships of Mount Pleasant, Lebanon, and Dyberry, connecting small settlements like Niagara and Whites Valley. The landscape is dotted with numerous glacial ponds and lakes, such as Long Pond and Miller Pond, which support a variety of seasonal camps including Camp Cayuga and Camp Towanda. Local heritage is anchored by sites like St Cecelia Ch and Hulls Cem near Red Schoolhouse Corner. Further south, the Himalayan Institute and the Prompton Recreation Area signify the area's later development as a destination for education and outdoor activity, while the settlement of Aldenville remains a primary waypoint along the river.
