About this map

Pleasant View Summit serves as the focal point for this survey of the Pocono plateau, where residential development and recreation define the local geography. To the south, the settlement of Stoddartsville sits along the Lehigh River, marking a key crossing point near the edge of the quadrangle. The map documents a landscape heavily influenced by tourism and seasonal residency, evidenced by features like the Wilkes-Barre Golf Course and several named ponds and lakes, including Meadow Lake and Bear Lake.

Transport patterns are characterized by a network of trails and residential roads, such as Green Arrow Trl and Blue Arrow Trl near Indian Lake. Notable topographic landmarks like Dry Land Hill Tower and Big Pine Hill View offer prominent vantage points over the surrounding drainage basins of Choke Creek and Shades Creek. The transition from rural forest land to modern development is visible in the clustering of roads around the summit and the varied trail names north of Shades Glen.
