2016 Map of Galilee

About this map

Galilee and the surrounding townships of northeastern Pennsylvania are defined by a network of small upland settlements and abundant glacial water bodies. This 2016 survey highlights the persistent rural character of Wayne County, where hamlets like Rileyville, Girdland, and Boyds Mills are connected by historically significant routes such as the Oregon Tpke. The landscape is dotted with several prominent ponds and lakes, including Duck Harbor Pond, Silver Lake, and Beaver Lake, illustrating a terrain where water management and recreation have long shaped local land use. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of the Bolkcom Cem and Hillcrest Cem, while the inclusion of unique geographical markers like Butternut Flats along the S Br Calkins Cr provides a detailed look at the localized naming conventions used by generations of residents.
