1976 Map of East Stroudsburg

About this map

East Stroudsburg serves as the primary urban center in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, showing a transition from dense residential and commercial blocks to the outlying settlements of Monroe County. The imagery, captured in late 1976, reveals the transport corridors connecting Analomink and Gravel Place to the larger borough. Unlike standard topographic maps, this aerial perspective provides a literal view of the land use, from the clearings at Marshall Creek to the secluded waters of Lake Monroe. The map documents the expansion of neighborhoods and the winding road networks leading north toward Wooddale, reflecting the area's development during a period of growth in the Poconos region. It is a valuable resource for observing exact forest cover, building footprints, and the real-world state of the landscape before further modern subdivision.
