2010 Map of Honesdale

About this map

Honesdale and the surrounding boroughs in Wayne County are depicted here in detail, showcasing a landscape defined by the Lackawaxen River and an extensive network of water control features. The map illustrates a historical transition from industrial river use to modern flood management, evidenced by the Woolen Mill Dam and the massive General Edgar Jadwin Dam. To the west, the borough of Bethany and the village of Prompton sit amidst a complex of smaller water bodies such as Glass Pond Number One and Glass Pond Number Two. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are carefully marked, including the Glass Factory Cemetery, Schoonover Cemetery, and Keen Cemetery. The presence of the Cavage Airport and the Elk Forest Resort Golf Course alongside older naming conventions like the Owego Tpke and Old Railroad reflects the area's gradual development into a recreational and residential hub north of the coal regions.
