About this map

The Pocono Mountains landscape in this area is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and upland ridges, stretching across the Pike and Monroe County line. Higher elevations like West Mtn, East Mtn, and Tar Knob overlook a complex hydrography of glacial features, including Kintz Swamp, Panther Swamp, and Henderson Swamp. Significant leisure and community landmarks are central to the region's character, most notably the Skytop Lodge grounds and the Easton Anglers facility.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early settlement markers such as the Seese Hill Cemetery and the McComas Chapel Cemetery. The map documents the development of the Skytop and Canadensis communities alongside specialized infrastructure like the Flying Dollar Airport. Moving toward the southeast, the terrain transitions into the steep drainage of Tarkiln Draft and the flow of Bush Kill, while the presence of Camp William Penn Lake highlights the era's recreational land use.
