2010 Map of Pleasant View Summit

About this map

Stoddartsville sits at the southeastern edge of this landscape, marking a historical crossing point where the Lehigh River tumbles over the Great Falls of the Lehigh. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous impoundments including Meadow Lake, Indian Lake, and Lake Aleeda feeding a network of runs and creeks. The terrain rises to prominent heights at Bald Mountain and Dry Land Hill, the latter of which is crowned by the Dry Land Hill Tower. While much of the region is characterized by woods and waterways, recreational developments like the Wilkes-Barre Golf Course and small residential clusters such as Pleasant View Summit and Shades Glen illustrate the modern use of this highland terrain for leisure and retreat near the turn of the 21st century.
