About this map

Starrucca and Shehawken anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where the borders of Wayne and Susquehanna counties meet the Pennsylvania-New York state line. The terrain is defined by high ridges like Shrawder Mtn and Slocum Hill, separated by narrow valleys and numerous water bodies. Several upland ponds, including Island Lake, Shehawken Lake, and Star Pond, provide natural landmarks among the wooded hills.

Smaller hamlets such as Scott Center and Maple Grove are connected by a network of rural routes like Dixie Hwy and Shadigee Creek Rd. The drainage of Starrucca Creek flows through the southwest, creating features like Bucks Falls. This survey documents a quiet rural era in the Endless Mountains region, showing the persistent placement of family-named roads and remote mountain passes like Black Bear Pass that have likely served local residents for generations.
