About this map

Starrucca sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad traces the valley of Starrucca Creek. The area is characterized by high, rounded terrain including Shrawder Mountain and Penn Hill, dotted with numerous named crossroads and remote hamlets. Settlements like Sherman, Scott Center, and Shehawken are connected by a network of rural roads and jeep trails, reflecting a late 20th-century landscape that remains largely undeveloped.

Several glacial water bodies, such as Shehawken Lake, Island Lake, and Hiawatha Lake, are central features of the eastern half of the map. Local history and genealogy are highlighted by landmarks such as St Pauls Ch, Mission Chapel, and the various family-named intersections like Gardinier Corners and Finnegan Corners. The extensive State Game Lands No 70 and Broome State Forest indicate the region's preservation for public recreation and timber, while scattered quarries suggest localized mineral extraction.
