About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through this borderland, where the Erie Railroad and the Delaware & Hudson RR snake alongside the water. The landscape is a complex network of high ridges like Mount Ararat and Sugarloaf Mtn, dotted with numerous glacial lakes and ponds that supported a thriving early 20th-century summer camp culture. Features such as Camp Wayne and Camp Winona appear alongside established rural settlements like Starrucca and Lake Como.

Industry and local education are well-represented, from the Cadosia Factories in the north to a high density of one-room schoolhouses, including Hiawatha Sch and Fairmont Sch. Genealogists will find value in the scattered landmarks of Preston Center and Scott Center, while the presence of the New York Ontario and Western RR cutting through Poyntelle illustrates the critical role of rail transport in connecting these isolated Wayne County communities.
