1966 Map of Rowland

About this map

The Lackawaxen River winds through this mid-century landscape, carving a deep valley that historically dictated the path of local industry and transport. Along its banks, small settlements like Rowland, Glen Eyre, and Kimble appear tied to the river's course, while the Erie-Lackawanna railroad follows the water's edge through the Shimers Rock Cut. The terrain is defined by a dense network of forest lands, including Lackawaxen State Forest and Blooming Grove State Forest, which are interspersed with numerous wetlands such as Koski Swamp and Little Mud Pond Swamp.
