1946 Map of Honesdale

About this map

Honesdale and the surrounding townships of Dyberry, Cherry Ridge, and Clinton are defined by the convergence of industrial infrastructure and rural settlement patterns. The Lackawaxen River and Dyberry Creek anchor the local geography, providing the valley floor where the Erie railroad once facilitated movement alongside the Roosevelt HY. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific identifiers, including numerous denominational burial grounds such as St Marys Cem and St Johns Cem, as well as several smaller family or local sites like Keen Cem and Schoonover Cem. The 1969 revisions highlight significant landscape changes, most notably the General Edgar Jadwin Dam and its associated inundation area. Smaller outlying settlements and former school sites like Fermoy Sch and Hoadley Sch remain preserved here, offering a clear view of Wayne County's development from the mid-1940s through the late 1960s.
