About this map

Hawley stands as the primary hub at the northern edge of this Pennsylvania survey, situated where the Lackawaxen River meets its tributaries like Middle Creek. The landscape is dominated by the northern reaches of Lake Wallenpaupack, featuring Epply Island and Spinnler Point. This massive reservoir and the surrounding lakes, including Fairview Lake and Florence Lake, reflect the region's development as a central recreation and water-management destination.

Smaller settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the highlands, including Wilsonville, Tafton, and Paupack. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Paupack Cem and Pine Grove Cem, as well as aviation interests like the Mountain Bay Air Park Inc. The terrain rises from the river valley toward prominent elevations such as Buckhorn Mtn and Big Hill, while names like Gates Meadow and Gates Hill hint at the area's agricultural and land-holding history.
