2016 Map of White Mills

About this map

The Lackawaxen River corridor defines the south-central portion of this map, winding past the historic glass-making hub of White Mills and the nearby settlement of Indian Orchard. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Pennsylvania borderlands between Wayne and Pike counties, where the river's path is closely followed by the rail line and Route 6. To the north, the plateau is marked by a series of high-elevation glacial lakes and ponds including Beach Lake, Chestnut Lake, and the smaller Vine Hill community, where the Vine Hill Cem serves as a local genealogical marker. The landscape is characterized by its numerous water bodies, from Lake Constance in the south to Bunnells Pond near East Honesdale, showing how the geography of the northern Poconos region continues to be shaped by its natural drainage patterns and small upland hamlets like Laurella and Bethel.
