2019 Map of Factoryville

About this map

Keystone College serves as a cultural anchor in this corner of Pennsylvania, situated where the South Branch Tunkhannock Creek winds through the hills between Factoryville and La Plume. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and family plots, such as the Seamans Family Cem and Radle Family Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The region's geography is characterized by high ridges like Tunnel Hill and Bunker Hill, overlooking substantial water bodies and wetlands including Lake Winola and the Stantontown Swamp. The settlement pattern reflects a history of small rural communities connected by winding valley roads, with Nicholson to the north and Dalton to the southeast. Traces of local development are evident in named hills and hollows like Carpenter Hollow and Lake Sheridan Hill, indicating a long-standing relationship between the resident families and the varied terrain of the Tunkhannock Creek watershed.
