About this map

Pohopoco Mountain serves as a prominent landform in this modern study of the Pocono region, where the Carbon and Monroe county line bisects a landscape defined by significant water management and planned residential communities. Large-scale reservoirs, including the Penn Forest Reservoir and Wild Creek Reservoir, dominate the central basin, fed by streams such as Wild Creek and Hell Creek. These water bodies are flanked by established settlements and vacation communities, ranging from the dense street grids of Towamensing Trails and Indian Mountain Lake in the north to the more traditional crossroads of Dotters Corners and Kresgeville in the south.

Local history is anchored by sites like the Dotters Corners Cemetery and small hamlets like Jonas and Meckesville. The map illustrates the shift from natural terrain to developed lakeside living, with numerous private drives and trails weaving through the drainages of Stony Creek and Pohopoco Creek. This 2023 edition documents the contemporary footprint of these communities within the surrounding state game lands and high ridges like Stony Ridge and Call Mountain.
