About this map

The Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR carves a critical path through this upland plateau, anchoring a string of early twentieth-century resorts and settlements. In Mount Pocono and Pocono Summit, the topography transitions from the dense wetlands of Tobyhanna to the steep eastern escarpments overlooking the Brodhead Creek valley. A significant portion of the western landscape is dedicated to a massive Military Reservation and Artillery Range, illustrating the era's dual use of the high plateau for both tactical training and burgeoning mountain tourism.
