1892 Map of Dundaff

About this map

The Delaware & Hudson Canal Co RR anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, tracing the valley through Carbondale, Jermyn, and Mayfield. Surveyed in 1890, the map illustrates a region defined by the transition from the industrial Lackawanna Valley to the glaciated uplands of the East Mts. Numerous glacial ponds and lakes dot the terrain, including Crystal Lake and Newton Lake, which sit at the base of prominent heights like Elk Hill and North Knob. The intricate drainage of Tunkhannock Creek and its many branches, such as South Branch Tunkhannock Creek, reveals a complex network of narrow valleys and ridges. Small agricultural and commuter settlements like Dundaff, Fleetville, and Waverly are depicted with their late-19th-century footprints, connected by a web of rural roads that navigate the varying elevations.
