About this map

Starrucca sits at the southern edge of this survey, where the Wayne Co Corporate Boundary meets the winding Starrucca Creek. The landscape is defined by the intersection of small rural communities and extensive natural preserves like State Game Lands No 70 and Broome State Forest. Numerous family-named intersections such as Finnegan Corners, Gardiner Corners, and Farrell Corners trace the historic road network through Scott and Thompson townships.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with significant bodies like Shehawken Lake, Island Lake, and the marshy Beaver Meadow dotted across the highlands. Local spiritual life is anchored by St Pauls Ch in the south and the Mission Chapel near Sherman in the north. The presence of numerous Quarry and Quarries sites, particularly near the New York Pennsylvania border, highlights the area's geological utility during the mid-20th century.
