About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a dramatic path through the mountains of Sullivan County, anchoring the landscape of Worlds End State Park. This region is defined by its recreation and forestry heritage, where the Loyalsock Trail winds through the Wyoming State Forest over high ridges and deep runs. The map details the transition from the secluded waters of Sones Pond to the early 20th-century resort character of Eagles Mere Lake and its surrounding Eagles Mere Park.

Settlements like Forksville, featuring a local Covered Bridge and Fairgrounds, contrast with the administrative seat at Laporte. The topography reveals a land shaped by both natural beauty and utility, from the elevations of Prospect Hill and Chestnut Ridge to the isolated Mine in the northeast and the Landing Strip in Shrewsbury. Local roads like Irish Settlement Road hint at the area's ancestral patterns of movement and residence.
