About this map

Moscow serves as a primary hub for this portion of Lackawanna County, situated along the corridor of Roaring Brook and surrounded by smaller settlements like Daleville and Elmhurst. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Moosic Mountains to the northwest and significant water features including the Elmhurst Reservoir and Maple Lake. This contemporary survey documents a mix of established residential areas and large tracts of wetland, such as Mullen Swamp and Langan Swamp, which have shaped local development and road patterns.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the larger Saint Catherines Cem and Moscow Cem to the Old Daleville Cem and Springbrook Cem. Evidence of rural infrastructure remains visible through features like the Lazy J Ranch Airport and the Maple Lake United Methodist Church, which anchor the smaller crossroads of Tooley Corners and Quinlan Corners. The terrain is marked by notable peaks including Coon Hill, Panther Hill, and the distinctive The Hogback.
