About this map

Galilee and its surrounding hamlets define this high-plateau landscape of Wayne County during the mid-1960s. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, distinct communities like Rileyville, Rutledgedale, and Boyds Mills, many of which grew around country crossroads and local congregations such as Rileyville Ch and St Josephs Ch. The terrain is punctuated by numerous glacial water bodies, including Duck Harbor Pond and Sky Lake, which feed the drainages of Beaverdam Creek and Calkins Creek.

A network of local routes like Cutback Road and gird_land Road connects these agricultural and residential pockets. Larger conservation areas are evident in the northern reaches, most notably State Game Lands No 159 near Alder Marsh Pond. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of smaller landmarks such as Hillcrest Cem and Bolkcom Cem provides precise locations for family research in this rural portion of the Pocono region.
