1966 Map of Pocono Pines

About this map

Pocono Pines and the surrounding resort communities of the Pocono Plateau are captured here during a period of significant residential expansion. The map details the emergence of vacation-oriented subdivisions such as Lake Naomi Estates, Stillwater Lake Estates, and Pocono Summit Estates, which grew around established water bodies like Lake Naomi and Stillwater Lake. While the north is defined by these burgeoning estates and leisure features like the local Golf Course, the southern portion remains largely dominated by the natural landscape of State Game Lands No 38 and the Delaware State Forest. Evidence of the area's industrial past and transition persists in the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade, which cross the terrain alongside modern infrastructure like Interchange 8. Landmarks such as the St Joan of Arc Ch and various local Cemeteries provide essential points for genealogical research.
