2013 Map of Blakeslee

About this map

The Pocono International Raceway and Poconol Raceway dominate the eastern landscape of this Pennsylvania quadrangle, marking the area's transition into a major regional destination. To the west, the economy is anchored by recreation, with Split Rock Ski Area and Big Boulder Ski Resort situated near the waters of Lake Harmony and Big Boulder Lake. The map reveals a high density of planned communities and residential developments that emerged in the latter half of the 20th century, including Camelot Forest, Towamensing Trails, and Holiday Pocono. This development pattern is interspersed with natural features like Tobyhanna Falls on Tobyhanna Cr and the heights of Pimple Hill, where the Pohopoco Tower stands. The confluence of early settlements like Blakeslee and Albrightsville with large-scale sporting and vacation infrastructure illustrates the modern character of the Poconos.
