About this map

Buck Hill Falls and Mountainhome anchor this mid-1990s landscape in Monroe County, showcasing a region defined by its resort history and complex hydrology. The map details the transition from high woodland plateaus down toward the Brodhead Creek valley, where settlements like Canadensis and Cresco are established along winding mountain roads. Cultural landmarks such as the Pocono Playhouse and the Pocono Farms East development reflect the area's growth as a recreational destination.

The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways including Rattlesnake Creek, Griscom Creek, and the curiously named Devil's Hole Creek. High points like Spruce Mtn and Chestnut Mtn overlook significant protected areas within State Game Lands No 127 and State Game Lands No 221. This survey, revised in the early nineties, captures the Pocono landscape just as residential expansion was intensifying around established communities and seasonal retreats.
