About this map

The vast expanse of Lake Wallenpaupack dominates this 1960s landscape, where the Wayne and Pike county line runs through the water. This massive reservoir, with its complex shoreline including Spinnler Pt, transformed the region's geography, though older settlements like Hawley and Wilsonville remain established at the lake's northern edge. The industrial and transport history of the area is evident through the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line following the path of the Lackawaxen River.

Local life is anchored by small communities such as Tafton and Paupack, featuring local landmarks like the Paupack Ch and Pine Grove Cem. To the east, the terrain rises into the wooded heights of Buckhorn Mountain and Big Hill, much of which is preserved as State Game Lands No 183. The map also captures specialized land uses from Camp Brooklyn and Caffrey Campground to the small Mt Bay Airstrip near the southern boundary.
