1960 Map of Brodheadsville

About this map

Pohopoco Creek and McMichael Creek flow through this section of the Pocono Mtns, illustrating the mid-century development of Monroe and Carbon counties. The settlement at Brodheadsville serves as a local hub, supported by the Pleasant Valley Middle School and the Pleasant Valley Airport. Smaller hamlets like Effort, Gilbert, and Kresgeville are connected by valley roads, while the northern highlands show recreational growth at Sun Valley and Camp Trexler. Genealogy researchers will find several localized landmarks, including St Johns Ch, Zion Ch, and the Middle Creek Cem. The landscape is a mix of agricultural valleys and wooded ridges such as Chestnut Hill, with numerous gravel pits and a prominent pipeline indicating the industrial utility of the terrain during this era of Pennsylvania's history.
