2016 Map of Starrucca

About this map

Starrucca Creek and Shadigee Creek carve through the high terrain of the Pennsylvania and New York borderlands, defining a landscape of narrow valleys and isolated peaks. This 2016 survey shows the enduring rural character of the region, where small settlements like Starrucca and Shehawken are linked by a network of winding roads such as Ghost Mountain Rd and Little Ireland Rd. The map is particularly detailed in its depiction of the many small lakes and ponds that dot the upland basins, including Island Lake, Hiwatha Lake, and Shehawken Lake. Significant landmarks like Bucks Falls and Shrawder Mtn provide clear orientation points for those exploring the rugged border of Wayne County. The distribution of scattered homesteads and the persistence of place names like Maple Grove and Scott Center reflect the long-standing agricultural and timber-based heritage of the northern Alleghenies.
