1949 Map of Honesdale
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Honesdale serves as the focal point of this Wayne County landscape, situated at the confluence of Dyberry Creek and the West Branch Lackawaxen River. The era's transportation network is clearly defined by the Erie RR and the Roosevelt Highway, which follow the river valleys through settlements like Seelyville and Prompton. This survey details a transition from the industrial activity at the Glass Factory near the north border to the agricultural and civic centers like the County Fairgrounds. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural institutions including St Patricks Ch, Rickard Sch, and various family-named landmarks like Coggins Corner and Steene. Numerous ponds and reservoirs, such as Cadjaw Pond and Reining Pond, dot the uplands between the townships of Texas and Cherry Ridge, reflecting the region's managed water resources during the late 1940s.
