About this map

Tunkhannock Creek and its many tributaries, including South Branch Tunkhannock Creek and Oxbow Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern through the highlands of Wyoming and Lackawanna Counties. The settlement of Factoryville serves as a local hub, anchored by the campus of Keystone College. The landscape is notably dense with small family and denominational burial grounds, such as Saint Michaels Greek Catholic Cem, Seamans Family Cem, and Menger Family Cem, reflecting generations of rural residency and kinship ties in the hollows.

Infrastructure like the Lackawanna Trl and various state routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting smaller hamlets like Starkville, East Lemon, and Bardwell. Significant wetlands, including Broadbent Swamp and Stantontown Swamp, sit alongside prominent elevations like Bunker Hill and Middle Mountain. This modern survey reveals how early 20th-century transportation corridors continue to shape the contemporary development of the region, from the recreational shores of Lake Winola to the agricultural reaches near Walls Corners.
