About this map

Lackawanna State Park anchors this central Pennsylvania landscape, dominated by the waters of Lackawanna Lake and the winding course of the South Branch Tunkhannock Creek. The terrain is defined by numerous family-named summits such as Lee Hill, Sarnoski Hill, and Carpenter Hill, which separate the small settlements and crossroads of Fleetville, Waverly, and Clarks Green. Aviation history is present at the Endless Mountains Airport, while local genealogy is well-documented through a high density of small burial grounds including the Decker Cem, Sicklers Cem, and Hickory Grove Cem.

Religious and educational institutions like St Gabriels Monastery and Our Lady of Peace Sch suggest a community-focused development pattern. The presence of numerous ponds—Baylors Pond, Mud Pond, and Trestle Pond—alongside recreational spots like Kamp Kewanee highlights the area's long-standing character as a retreat from nearby industrial centers. Infrastructure such as the Sewage Disposal Ponds and various Gravel Pits reflect the mid-century utility and industry supporting these growing residential townships.
