1954 Map of Lake Maskenozha

About this map

Lake Maskenozha anchors a landscape of summer camps and water features in this mid-century survey of the Delaware River Valley. The area is characterized by a high density of recreation sites, including Camp Massad, Camp Log-N-Twig, and the Camp Fire Girls Camp, reflecting the region's mid-century role as a retreat for organized youth groups and vacationers. Near the river, the settlement at Wallpack Center and the site of Egypt Mills represent the localized human footprint amidst the complex hydrology of Dingmans Creek and its notable cascades at Dingmans Falls and Silverthread Falls. The Delaware River serves as the state boundary between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with Shapnack Island and the Flat Brook Valley defining the eastern terrain. Significant landmarks like the Firetower and Holy Trinity Ch provide fixed points for local historians and genealogists tracing the infrastructure of the northern Poconos.
