1976 Map of Pleasant View Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Lehigh River corridor views within the Luzerne county area are revealed in this 1976 orthophotograph, capturing the high-plateau landscape before major modern developments altered the character of the terrain. The settlement of Stoddartsville sits at the southern edge of the sheet, where the river winds through thick forest cover toward its lower reaches. The aerial imagery highlights the dense woodlands surrounding the Pleasant View Summit and the dark waters of Bear Lake in the northeastern quadrant. Local transportation and settlement patterns are anchored by small communities like Shades Glen, providing a stark visual record of how roads and clearings were etched into the natural drainage basins of Bear Creek. The orthophoto format provides a unique perspective on land usage and forest density that traditional line-drawn maps often obscure.
