2016 Map of Lake Ariel

About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate the western edge of this landscape, where the terrain transitions into a plateau dotted with glacial ponds and wetlands. Small settlements like Cortez, Maplewood, and Hollisterville are connected by a network of rural roads that skirt significant water bodies, including Lake Henry and Lake Ariel. This 2016 snapshot captures the region's enduring character as a recreational and agricultural corridor on the border of Lackawanna and Wayne counties.
