About this map

Skytop serves as a primary reference point in this corner of the Pocono Mountains, where the landscape is defined by its numerous lakes and falls. The presence of Mountain Lake and Lower Lake near the settlement, along with Indian Ladder Falls and Leavitt Falls, indicates a region deeply tied to water-based recreation and seasonal retreat. Farther south, the environment transitions toward managed natural spaces like the Pennel Run Natural Area and the Snow Hill Picnic Area, showing a land use pattern focused on conservation and outdoor access.

Remote camps and private clubs like Camp Girard and Easton Anglers are tucked away along the banks of the Bush Kill and Sixteenmile Run, reflecting the area's history as a sporting destination. Transportation is limited to winding routes such as Falls Rd and Seese Hill Rd, which navigate the terrain between Tar Knob and Dancing Ridge. The isolated Flying Dollar Airport provides a rare point of aviation access in this heavily forested and hydrographic-rich territory.
