2019 Map of Blakeslee

About this map

Blakeslee and Albrightsville anchor this portrait of the Poconos, where the boundary between Monroe and Carbon Counties divides a landscape defined by resort development and glacial waterways. The map documents the dense residential networks of Locust Lakes Village, Holiday Pocono, and Indian Mountain Lake, contrasting with the more established rural centers. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of three local burial grounds: Blakeslee Cem, Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem, and the Old Albrightsville Cem. Water is the dominant geographic feature, ranging from the expansive Pocono Lake and Lake Harmony to the cascades of Tobyhanna Falls. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Lake Mtn and Pimple Hill, while a complex system of runs and creeks, including Tunkhannock Creek and Mud Run, drain the high plateaus between these growing mountain communities.
