About this map

Lords Valley and the expansive residential network of Hemlock Farms anchor this 2013 survey of the northern Poconos. The landscape is defined by its diverse water bodies and recreational infrastructure, ranging from the large Pecks Pond with its central Pinchot Island to the secluded Lake Giles and the Shohola Marsh Reservoir. Notable public land features include the Tarkill Demonstration Area and the Pecks Pond Picnic Area, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Elevations vary significantly across the quadrangle, marked by landmarks such as Burleigh Ridge, Indian Cabin Ridge, and High Knob, which is crowned by the High Knob Fire Tower. The intricate road system, featuring names like York Drive and Pecks Pond Road, illustrates the mid-century to modern-day growth of private communities within the forested terrain, while labels like Rock Hill Camp suggest the seasonal and organizational use of the land.
