2010 Map of Moscow

About this map

Moscow serves as the focal point for this survey of the Pocono plateau's western edge in the early 21st century. The landscape is a mix of long-established rural crossroads and newer residential developments like Harmony Hills and Dawn Acres. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with infrastructure such as the Curtis Dam and Watres Dam impounding the many creeks that drain the uplands. Significant cemeteries like Saint Catherines Cemetery and Fairview Memorial Estate provide valuable landmarks for genealogists. The road network connects older hamlets including Daleville, Yostville, and Spring Brook, while prominent physical features like The Hogback and Blair Hill overlook the winding courses of Roaring Brook and Stafford Meadow Brook. This map documents a period of suburban infill amidst a historically agrarian and hydraulic landscape.
