About this map

Lackawaxen River flows through the southern portion of this region, providing a corridor for industry and transportation between White Mills and Indian Orchard. This 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a landscape of wooded ridges like Rattlesnake Ridge and scattered agricultural settlements. The local economy and community life are grounded in landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater near the Lackawaxen and Stourbridge rail line and numerous camps including Camp Munsee and Camp Navajo.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites, including Smith Hill Ch Cem, Berlin Ch Cem, and Vine Hill Cem. The map identifies the transition from rural townships like Oregon and Berlin to the growing community of Beach Lake, where St Bernards Ch and the Township Sch served as local anchors. Water features such as Lake Constance, Tinkwig Lake, and Bunnells Pond define the drainage patterns of this corner of Wayne County.
