2010 Map of Waymart

About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate the central landscape of this survey, dividing the industrial history of the Lackawanna River valley from the high plateau lakes of Wayne County. In the west, the settlement of Simpson and the Belmont Reservoir represent the managed water resources of the coal region, while the eastern half reveals a summer recreation and agricultural economy. The borough of Waymart serves as a local hub near Lake Ladore and the historic Owego Tpke. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the three burial grounds—Old Canaan Cemetery, East Canaan Cemetery, and South Canaan Cemetery—situated near the southern community of South Canaan. Traces of small-scale industry persist through features like the Machell Mill Dam, while modern aviation is represented by the Flying Fox Airport and the Kellachow Landing Strip.
