2019 Map of Lake Ariel

About this map

Lake Ariel and the surrounding villages of Wayne and Lackawanna Counties anchor this landscape, where the Moosic Mountains give way to a network of lakes and marshes. The area's settlement pattern is defined by several small communities such as Hamlin, Hollisterville, and Cortez, many of which grew around the numerous water bodies including Lake Henry and Half Moon Lake. The terrain is characterized by a high density of wetlands like Silkmans Swamp and Tisdale Swamp, interspersed with historical burial grounds including Potter Cem, Elmdale Cem, and Salem Cem.
