2010 Map of Galilee

About this map

Galilee and its surrounding hamlets in Wayne County define this rural landscape, where a complex network of brooks and branches feeds numerous named ponds and lakes. Early 21st-century infrastructure follows historic patterns, with roads like the Oregon Tpke and Calkins Rd connecting scattered settlements such as West Damascus, Rileyville, and Boyds Mills. The mapping of small-scale dams, including the Miller Pond Dam and Lovelass Dam, underscores the historical and ongoing importance of water management in the region's localized economy. Genealogists can locate family-named landmarks such as the Bolkcom Cemetery and Hillcrest Cemetery, while the presence of Camp Chicopee reflects the area's legacy as a site for seasonal recreation and community gathering amidst the headwaters of South Branch Calkins Creek and North Branch Calkins Creek.
