1924 Map of Bushkill

About this map

Brodhead Creek and its numerous tributaries dominate this mid-1920s landscape, reflecting a region defined by complex hydrology and early educational development. Numerous rural schoolhouses, including Lesoine School, Smoky Hill School, and Yetter School, are distributed across the terrain, marking the social centers of scattered communities like Henryville and Wooddale. The map captures the industrial and recreational character of the era, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad corridor contrasts with private social organizations such as the Mishawaka Club and Hiawatha Club. Along the Delaware River, traditional river crossings like Dimicks Ferry and Walkers Ferry persist, illustrating the transition between older ferry-based transport and the emerging State Highway system that began to reorient the local geography near East Stroudsburg.
