1928 Map of Ariel

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Lake Wallenpaupack dominates the eastern landscape of this Wayne County survey, marking the scale of early 20th-century water management and recreation in the region. The map reveals a dense network of early crossroads and rural centers, from the industrial Wallenpaupack Mills to the recreational hub of Lake Ariel. To the west, the Moosic Mountains create a natural barrier, while the Erie R.R. and Western R.R. provide the necessary infrastructure for moving goods through the high country. Small rural institutions such as St Marys Ch, Frisbie Sch, and Zion Ch are scattered throughout the townships of Salem and Sterling, providing essential landmarks for genealogists tracking family history in these tight-knit communities. The presence of Haads Mill and numerous swamps like Tisdale Swamp further illustrate the era's reliance on local natural resources and the drainage patterns of the Pocono plateau.
