1966 Map of Buck Hill Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The recreational and village character of the Pocono Mountains is well-defined here, where the Erie-Lackawanna railroad winds through a landscape of narrow valleys and high ridges. The eastern portion of the map centers on the established resort community of Buck Hill Falls, complete with its Reservoir, multiple golf courses, and the nearby Pocono Playhouse. To the south, the village of Cresco and the rising development around Mount Pocono contrast with the large, undeveloped tracts of State Game Lands No 127 and State Game Lands No 221. These state-managed lands protect the headwaters of numerous streams, including the deeply cut gorge of Devils Hole Creek near The Devils Hole. Local landmarks like St Anns Ch and the Mountainhome Sch serve the clusters of settlements at Canadensis and Mountainhome, which flourished as regional centers for tourism and seasonal residence.
