About this map

The Lehigh Gorge carves through the western edge of this Carbon County landscape, where the Lehigh River meets the engineering of the Francis E Walter Dam. This terrain is defined by its deep hollows and high ridges, including Chestnut Ridge and Pine Hill, which frame a network of mountain streams like Sand Spring Run and Irishtown Run. Settlement is concentrated in established residential clusters such as Pocono Mountain Lake Estates, Leonardsville, and Saylorsville, situated near the intersection of major transit corridors.

Water is a dominant feature, from the wide expanse of Sand Spring Lake and Hickory Run Lake to the smaller Mosey Wood Pond and the dramatic drop of Hawk Falls near the confluence of Mud Run. The map detail shows how modern infrastructure, including the Francis E Walter Dam Rd and various local connectors like Jack Frost Mtn Rd, has been superimposed over the traditional natural landmarks like Bear Rock and Lime Hollow.
