1965 Map of Edgemere

About this map

Delaware State Forest and the State Game Lands No 180 dominate this part of Pike County, where the high ridges of the Poconos give way to a dense network of glacial ponds and wetlands. The settlement at Edgemere sits near the Stillwater Natural Area, surrounded by several mid-century recreational sites including Camp Speers, Camp Massad, and the New Jersey Camp. These developments illustrate the era's transition from traditional logging and hunting towards a seasonal resort economy centered around water bodies like Sunrise Lake and Gold Key Lake.
