About this map

The Moosic Mountains dominate this landscape on the border of Lackawanna and Wayne counties, where industrial history meets significant religious sites. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, the Saint Tikhons Orthodox Theological Seminary stands as a focal point near South Canaan, flanked by its associated Saint Tikhons Orthodox Cem - West and Saint Tikhons Orthodox Cem - East. To the west, the valley floor near Carbondale and Simpson reveals the region’s transport legacy with the D&H Rail Trl tracing the former rail corridor along the Lackawanna River.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the large Brownell Reservoir and Belmont Reservoir, alongside natural features like Lake Ladore and High Knob. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the townships, including the Stanton Family Cem and Saint Basil's Russian Orthodox Cem, reflecting the diverse immigrant communities that settled the Coal Region's periphery.
