About this map

Skytop and the surrounding high country of the Delaware State Forest define this 1990s-era landscape on the Pike and Monroe County line. The area is characterized by a dense network of upland water features and recreational camps, including Camp Canadensis and the Hiawatha Club. Notable hydrological landmarks such as Mountain Lake, Browns Lake, and the cascading waters of Indian Ladder Falls punctuate the timbered terrain, while the southern reach shows the beginnings of Marshalls Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the McComas Cem near the intersection of Poplar Run and Brodhead Creek, a quiet marker of earlier settlement amidst the modern resort and forest lands. The map also detail topographic features like West Pocono Mountain and Snow Hill, revealing how the steep drainage of Deep Hollow and various runs shaped the development of local roads such as Seese Hill Road and Snow Hill Road.
