1976 Map of Mount Pocono
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Mount Pocono and its surrounding Monroe County landscape are captured in this orthophotomap, showing the mid-1970s development patterns within the Pocono Mountains. The imagery reveals the concentrated settlement at Tannersville and the emerging infrastructure connecting it to Bartonsville and Reeders. This specific type of survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, uses rectified aerial photography to provide a literal view of land use that standard topographic maps often abstract. One can see the clearings for residential clusters and the forested tracts between Paradise Valley and Wiscasset, documenting the transition of this region as it grew into a prominent recreation and residential hub.
