1966 Map of Mount Pocono

About this map

Big Pocono State Park and the high ridges of Camelback Mountain define this mid-1960s landscape, which shows the region's transition into a recreation and transportation hub. The Erie-Lackawanna railroad traverses the northern corridor through Mount Pocono, while the development of modern interchanges at Scotrun and Tannersville signals the growing importance of highway access for the area's resorts and residential enclaves. Local institutions such as the Pocono Mountain Jr-Sr High Sch and Kirk in the Woods Ch anchor the community, alongside traditional landmarks like Pocono Manor and the Fish Hatchery in Paradise Valley. Notable geological and hydrological features including Huckleberry Swamp, Paradise Falls, and Mountain Spring Lake are documented in detail, illustrating the complex water network that supported both early industry and later tourism.
