2023 Map of Skytop

About this map

The Pocono Mountains define this landscape, where the plateaus of East Mountain and West Mountain overlook a complex network of glacial wetlands and high-altitude lakes. The settlement of Skytop serves as a focal point near Mountain Lake, while further south, the communities of Canadensis and Mountainhome sit along the drainages of Brodhead Creek. The map reveals an area where wilderness and recreation intersect, notably at the Easton Anglers grounds and the private airfield at Flying Dollar Airport. Large tracts of swamp land, including Henderson Swamp and Kintz Swamp, illustrate the hydrologic character of the plateau. For those researching local families, the presence of Seese Hill Cem and McComas Chapel Cem provides specific points of interest amidst the winding mountain roads like Dutch Hill Rd and Krummel Hill Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by waters such as the Bush Kill and Stony Run, which cut through ridges like Dancing Ridge and the Blue Ridge.
