1960 Map of Saylorsburg

About this map

Kittatinny Mountain and Blue Mountain dominate the southern landscape, creating a distinct natural barrier that shaped early settlement patterns in Monroe and Northampton counties. The village of Saylorsburg sits at a critical junction near the edge of these ridges, where historical roads and an Old Railroad grade navigate the gap. This 1960 era survey, with revisions into the early 1980s, captures the rural character of the region before significant modern development, showing a network of community-focused landmarks like the Township Sch, County Home, and numerous local parishes including Jackson Ch and St Johns Ch.
