1960 Map of Broadheadsville

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Pohopoco Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Creek and Sugar Hollow Creek, define the landscape of this southern Pocono region. The map captures a moment of established rural community life centered around the villages of Brodheadsville, Effort, and Gilbert. These settlements are marked by traditional civic anchors such as St Johns Ch, Effort Cem, and the Pleasant Valley Sch, while the Fairground near Gilbert suggests a center for regional gathering. The northern terrain transitions into the Pocono Mtns, where recreational and residential development is visible around Sun Valley Lake and Seneca Lake. Notable landmarks like Camp Trexler and the industrial presence of scattered Gravel Pits reflect the mixed economy of the mid-20th century, balanced between seasonal tourism and local agriculture.
