1960 Map of Saylorsburg

About this map

The village of Saylorsburg sits at the foot of Blue Mountain in this topographic study of Monroe County, featuring revisions from the early 1980s that overlay the original 1960 fieldwork. The landscape is defined by the steep rise of Kittatinny Mountain and the waters of Saylors Lake. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of McMichael Creek and Cherry Creek, where small communities like Sciota, Snydersville, and Kellersville cluster along the local road network. Genealogy researchers can find numerous local landmarks including St Johns Ch, Mt Calvary Cem, and the Township Sch. The map also captures mid-century leisure and infrastructure, from the Blue Mtn Golf Course and a Drive-in Theater to the sprawling Game Lands No 186 and the historic Pocono Railroad line cutting through the northern gap.
