1966 Map of Lake Ariel

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate the western horizon of this Wayne and Lackawanna County landscape, where the headwaters of Wallenpaupack Creek and Middle Creek carve through the glacial terrain. In the mid-1960s, the area retained a distinctly rural character defined by small crossroads settlements like Hollisterville, Hamlin, and Cortez. The map reveals a high concentration of recreational and natural water bodies, including Lake Henry, Lake Ariel, and the expansive Silkmans Swamp, indicating the region's long-standing transition from timber and upland farming toward a seasonal lake-based economy.
