About this map

Dalton and the surrounding townships of North Abington and South Abington anchor this mid-century look at the Pennsylvania landscape. The region is defined by a dense network of water bodies and small rural junctions, including Lake Kewanee, Lilly Lake, and Glenburn Pond. Traces of local community life are evident in the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Scranton Cem, Miller Cem, and Hickory Grove Cem.

Infrastructure for the era is well-represented, from the Erie Lackawanna rail line serving La Plume Sta to the Ackerly Fairgrounds and the House of the Good Shepherd. The terrain is characterized by named elevations like Deer Lake Hill and Lee Hill, which shaped the placement of early settlements like Fleetville and Waverly. The inclusion of Worth Ch and Church Hill highlights the central role of rural institutions in these highland communities.
