2016 Map of Dutch Mountain

About this map

Mehoopany Creek carves a deep path through this portion of Wyoming County, where the high plateaus of Dutch Mountain and Short Mtn dominate the topography. The small settlement of Bellasylva serves as a local landmark on the western edge, while Kasson Brook sits to the northeast. This region is characterized by extensive wetlands and high-elevation bogs, such as Crane Swamp, Tamaraek Swamp, and Coalbed Swamp, which collect headwaters for the numerous brooks and runs that drain the mountainside. The landscape is also marked by family-named heritage sites like Fincke Cem and Junk Cem, reflecting the early rural community that settled these heights. Near Schmitthenner Lake, the network of local roads such as Windy Valley Rd and State Rte 3001 connects these isolated homesteads and natural features across the Sullivan and Luzerne county borders.
