2019 Map of Saylorsburg

About this map

Saylorsburg sits at a critical geographic junction where the Cherry Valley meets the rising slopes of Kittatinny Mtn. This landscape is defined by its deep-rooted rural communities and a dense network of local burial grounds that trace the area's ancestral lines, from the Bossert - Heller Family Cem to the Christ Hamilton Lutheran Cem in Hamilton Square. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as McMichael Creek and Aquashicola Cr, which historically influenced the placement of settlements like Sciota and Snydersville. To the southeast, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the ridgeline, overlooking the Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The map captures a transition from traditional agricultural lands toward conservation and recreation, evidenced by the inclusion of Pegasus Air Park and numerous protected natural areas.
