2010 Map of Pocono Pines

About this map

Pocono Pines and Pocono Summit serve as the primary residential anchors in this part of Monroe County, showing a landscape defined by significant recreational water bodies and planned communities. The map detail reflects the development patterns of the early 21st century, where large-scale impoundments like Lake Naomi and Stillwater Lake are surrounded by dense neighborhood street networks. These residential clusters, including Emerald Lakes and Sun Valley, contrast sharply with the more open terrain to the south and east. South of the main settlements, the land transitions into the gaps and ridges of the Pocono plateau. Features such as High Knob, Hypsy Gap, and Pohopoco Mountain dominate the southern portion of the sheet, where drainage systems like Tunkhannock Creek and Hypsy Creek carve through the topography. This survey captures the region's character as a mixture of seasonal retreats and year-round communities established around the local timber and ice-harvesting heritage.
