Land in the
Low Poconos setting.
Palmyra township has 15.9 square miles of land in Wayne County. Its Census reference point is in Low Poconos, within North Central Appalachians.
Forest-covered plateau surfaces, high hills and low mountains are underlain by layered sedimentary rocks. Most of this region escaped continental glaciation, leaving deeply cut upland terrain.

Palmyra and Wayne County
Palmyra is associated with Wayne County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Palmyra by land and water
The Census records 0.44 square miles of water within Palmyra, or 2.7% of its total area. It is 0.6 percentage points lower than the 3.3% recorded for Wayne County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Palmyra township has 10.7 times the land area of nearby White Mills CDP (1.48 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
