1966 Map of Hawley

About this map

The massive expanse of Lake Wallenpaupack dominates this landscape on the Wayne and Pike County border, reflecting a region deeply shaped by mid-century recreation and utility. At the northern tip, the borough of Hawley sits at the confluence of the Lackawaxen River and Wallenpaupack Creek, while smaller communities like Wilsonville, Tafton, and Paupack dot the surrounding hills. This survey, updated with 1981 data, highlights a developed lakefront featuring Caffrey Campground and the Wallenpaupack Area High Sch. Beyond the water, the terrain is characterized by heavy woodland, including State Game Lands No 183 and the Delaware State Forest. Local history is anchored by the Paupack Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and St Veronicas Ch, while the Stourbridge Trail follows the river valley through the center of Hawley.
