1960 Map of Broadheadsville

About this map

Brodheadsville and the surrounding villages of Effort, Gilbert, and Kresgeville center this topographic study, which captures the rural character of Monroe County during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Pocono Mtns and Chestnut Hill, with numerous family and community landmarks like Middle Creek Cem and St Johns Ch anchoring the local geography. Waterways such as Pohopoco Creek and McMichael Creek wind through the valleys, supporting a network of small lakes including Lake Mineola and Sun Valley Lake.
