2013 Map of Waymart

About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate the central landscape of this Wayne and Lackawanna County region, framing a transition from industrial river valleys to upland recreational lakes. To the west, the Lackawanna River flows through Simpson and Whites Crossing, where the dense residential street grids of Archbald St and Cemetery St reflect the area’s historic development. The central highlands are defined by a complex network of water management, including the Carbondale Number Four Reservoir and Brownell Reservoir, positioned along Racket Brook. Moving east, the terrain shifts into a pastoral and resort-focused layout centered on Waymart and the sprawling waters of Lake Ladore. This survey documents a landscape of high-elevation points like High Knob and Salem Hill, where the Salem Firetower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding ridges.
