2019 Map of Pleasant View Summit

About this map

The Lehigh River carves the southern boundary of this Pennsylvania terrain, where the historic settlement of Stoddartsville sits near the Great Falls of the Lehigh and the Stoddartsville Cem. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by its high-elevation wetlands and numerous water bodies, including Bear Lake, Mud Pond, and Kiel Lake. The area is characterized by significant topographic relief, with Bald Mtn and Big Pine Hill overlooking a complex network of runs and creeks. Residential pockets like Bear Creek Village and Shades Glen are connected by a web of local roads such as Wilkes-Barre and Easton Rd and Thornhurst Rd. The convergence of Luzerne, Lackawanna, Carbon, and Monroe counties near the southern edge emphasizes the region's importance as a crossroads in the Pocono plateau.
