1997 Map of Promised Land

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Promised Land State Park anchor this portion of the Pocono Plateau, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and extensive wetland systems like Long Pond Swamp and Balsam Swamp. This 1990s survey shows a region deeply committed to conservation and recreation, with established Campgrounds and Picnic Areas surrounding Promised Land Lake. The presence of Conservation Island and numerous state forest tracts indicates a managed wilderness character preserved against the encroaching development seen in small clusters like Roemersville and Tanglewood. Local institutional history is marked by the Good Shepherd Ch and Blooming Grove Sch in the northeast, while the terrain rises sharply at Bear Trap Mountain and High Knob. The map traces a transition from high-elevation ridges to the deep drainage of Shohola Creek, illustrating the natural water management of the Pennsylvania uplands.
