About this map

The Moosic Mountains overlook a landscape defined by critical transportation corridors and water infrastructure just after World War II. The Erie RR and Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR bisect the region near Moscow, facilitating movement through the rugged terrain of Lackawanna and Covington townships. Large-scale water management is evident in the presence of the Watres Reservoir and Elmhurst Reservoir, which dominate the local hydrology alongside Roaring Brook.

Local life is recorded through small rural clusters such as Spring Brook Corners, Fells Corners, and Tooley Corners. Social and community landmarks like the Welch Ch, Covington Sch, and St Catherines Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogical research. The Lackawanna Trail and Aberdeen Road serve as primary terrestrial routes connecting these settlements, while landmarks such as the Airport near Daleville indicate the area's mid-century modernization.
