About this map

Factoryville serves as the focal point of this Wyoming County landscape, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR winds through the winding valley of Tunkhannock Creek. The presence of Keystone College establishes the area's long-standing academic character, while surrounding hills like Bunker Hill and Tunnel Hill speak to the complex engineering required for rail transit in the 1940s.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data in the scattered rural settlements of Starkville, East Lemon, and Bardwell. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Oakley Cem and Pedrick Cem, are documented alongside country schools like Arch Sch and Glen Sch. To the southwest, the recreation-focused settlement at Lake Winola is meticulously detailed, including the Lake Winola PO and the lakeside Lake Winola Ch.
