About this map

Highland streams and resort communities define this portion of Monroe County, where the southern boundary of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area meets the commercial and residential hubs of Mount Pocono and Cresco. The landscape is a network of ridges and narrow valleys, carved by Buck Hill Creek and Devils Hole Creek. This area has long served as a seasonal destination, evidenced by the central location of the Pocono Playhouse and the dense clustering of vacation homes in Pocono Country Place.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from the Moravian Cem to the Mountainhome United Methodist Church Cem. The map also documents the transition from agricultural roots at Summit Hill Farm to the aviation-driven economy centered at the Pocono Mountains Regional Airport. Distinctive landmarks like Shaffers Knob and The Devils Hole provide a topographical frame for these enduring Pennsylvania settlements.
