1966 Map of Hickory Run

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Hickory Run State Park dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a transition from industrial exploitation to a massive public recreational resource. The Lehigh River carves a deep path through the terrain, its flow regulated by the Francis E Walter Reservoir at the northern boundary. While the river corridor still shows the footprint of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the newer infrastructure of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension and Interstate 80 signifies the era's shift toward high-speed automobile travel. Settlement remains sparse, represented by small clusters like Leonardsville and Saylorsville, alongside the early development of Pocono Mountain Lake Estates. Natural curiosities are also prominent, most notably the Boulder Field on the slopes of Chestnut Ridge, providing a detailed look at the region’s unique periglacial features.
