1994 Map of Waymart
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The Moosic Mountains dominate this landscape, creating a high divide between the industrial activity of the Lackawanna River valley and the rural tablelands of Wayne County. In the west, the city of Carbondale and the village of Simpson sit along the Lackawanna River, where the presence of a strip mine and a Shaft indicate the area's deep anthracite roots. Moving east across the ridge past High Knob, the map reveals a shift toward institutions and recreation. The State Correctional Inst is a prominent landmark near Waymart, while the surrounding hills are dotted with significant religious and educational sites like St Nicholas Seminary and the Western Monastery. The eastern plateau is characterized by numerous glacial bodies of water, including Keen Lake and Lake Ladore, which serve as focal points for the community alongside smaller settlements like South Canaan.
