About this map

The Wallenpaupack Creek watershed defines this corner of the Poconos, where the water flows northward toward the expansive Lake Wallenpaupack. Settled crossroads like Newfoundland and South Sterling are the primary hubs of the area, established along the various forks and runs that feed the main channel. The landscape is a mix of dense woodland protected within the Delaware State Forest and small residential clusters.

Genealogists can locate several local landmarks, including the Zion Ch and its adjacent Zion Cem in the western hills, and the St Mary Magdalen Ch further south. The map documents the recreational character of the region as it stood at the end of the century, noting Lake Paupack, Ironwood Park, and various Gravel Pits that suggest local industry supporting the area's infrastructure and seasonal tourism near Tobyhanna State Park.
