About this map

The Lackawanna Co and Wayne Co border divides this landscape of high plateaus and wetland basins during the late 2010s. The headwaters of the Lehigh River emerge in the south near the Lower Klondike Pond, while the West Branch Wallenpaupack Creek drains the northern reaches near Quicktown. This era is defined by significant residential development around recreational water bodies, notably the sprawling complexes at Eagle Lake, Pocono Springs, and Big Bass Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds including Madisonville Union Cem, Freytown Cem, and the Hornbaker Cem along Hornbaker Cemetary Rd. The rural character of the region is further punctuated by the Spring Hill Airport and numerous named bogs like Thousand Acre Swamp and Wildcat Swamp, which occupy the low-lying areas between the small settlements of Bloomington, Sterling, and Jericho.
