1965 Map of Sterling

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Erie-Lackawanna railroad corridor cuts through the highland terrain of Wayne and Lackawanna Counties in the mid-1960s, linking rural settlements like Lehigh and Quicktown. This area is defined by its extensive wetlands and water bodies, including the Thousand Acre Swamp and Big Sampson Swamp, which feed into the Lehigh River and the West Branch Wallenpaupack Creek. The map documents a landscape of small upland hamlets such as Sterling, Madisonville, and Turnersville, alongside scattered industry represented by a Quarry and various sand and gravel pits. For those researching local lineages, the presence of the Freytown Cem and Jericho Cem provides specific points of interest. Large recreational and ecological features such as Henry Lake, Pocono Peak Lake, and the northern edge of Gouldsboro State Park highlight the region's transition into a protected natural landscape.
