About this map

The Wayne County Courthouse stands at the heart of Honesdale, marking its significance as a regional seat of government. This northern Pennsylvania landscape is defined by the West Branch Lackawaxen River and its many tributaries, such as Dyberry Creek and Van Auken Creek, which shaped the early development of industrial and agricultural settlements. Smaller villages like Seelyville, Bethany, and Prompton are clustered along these waterways, reflecting a history tied to the river's path.

Local history researchers will find a dense concentration of burial sites, including the Old Saint John the Evangelist Church Cem and the Beth Israel Cem, providing a window into the diverse community fabric. To the south, the topography shifts towards wetlands and ponds like Wilder Swamp and Cadjaw Pond, where the Cherry Ridge Airport serves as a modern landmark amidst the older farmsteads and rural crossroads like Cherry Ridge and Clemo.
