About this map

Mount Pocono and its surrounding resorts anchor this 2013 survey of the Poconos, showcasing a landscape defined by seasonal tourism and complex hydrology. The map details the transition from high-elevation peaks like Camelback Mountain and Deer Mountain to the lower-lying settlements of Tannersville and Bartonsville. The geography is etched by numerous water bodies, including Swiftwater Cr and Pocono Cr, which weave through historic villages like Scotrun and Reeders.

Modern leisure infrastructure is heavily represented, with the Mount Airy Lodge Ski Area, Pocono Manor Ski Area, and several golf courses such as the Stricklands Wiscasset Golf Course integrated into the terrain. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact layout of late-century residential developments and resort complexes, such as the Pocono Laurel Lake community and the secluded grounds of Mount Sophia. The network of local roads and runs illustrates how the topography of the Pocono Plateau has shaped the growth of these mountain communities.
