1892 Map of Honesdale
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Honesdale and the rugged highlands of Wayne County are defined by a complex network of industrial transport and mountain settlements in this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's Gravity Railroad, which winds through Waymart and Prompton, illustrating the engineering required to move coal across the Moosic Mountains toward the Lackawaxen River valley. The New York Ontario and Western Railroad parallels the Lackawanna River through Forest City and Union Dale, marking the intensive extraction and transit corridors of the era.
