1967 Map of Galilee

About this map

Galilee and the surrounding townships of Lebanon, Damascus, and Oregon characterize this mid-century landscape in Wayne County. The area is defined by a dense network of small dairy-farming settlements and timbered uplands, including State Game Lands No 159. Distinctive religious landmarks like St Josephs Ch, Rileyville Ch, and Calkins Union Ch anchor the various crossroads communities. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial ponds and lakes, such as Duck Harbor Pond, Sky Lake, and Justin Lake, which feed the drainages of Beaverdam Creek and Calkins Creek. Researchers can find evidence of local infrastructure and early land management through features like the Gaging Sta near West Damascus and the winding paths of Siroland Road and Cutback Road.
