1946 Map of Waymart

Rural life in the mid-1940s is detailed through a network of small schoolhouses and religious landmarks, including the South Clinton Sch and the Russian Monastery near South Canaan. The eastern highlands of Clinton Mountain are dotted with numerous small lakes and ponds, such as Lake Lodore and Keen Pond, illustrating the transition from the coal-rich Lackawanna Valley to the recreation and agricultural lands of the Pocono plateau. This record captures the region just as the era of steam rail via the Delaware and Hudson and the Erie railroads was reaching its maturity.
