1966 Map of Hawley

About this map

Lake Wallenpaupack dominates this northern Poconos landscape, showing its role in both recreation and hydroelectric power during the mid-1960s and early 1970s. The village of Hawley sits at the northern edge where the Lackawaxen River meets the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line, a critical junction for regional transport. The map details a shifting economy, from industrial features like the Powerplant and numerous Gravel Pits to the rise of seasonal tourism evidenced by Caffrey Campground and several lakeshore developments.
