1997 Map of Skytop

About this map

The Delaware State Forest dominates this landscape in Monroe and Pike Counties, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and mountain waters. High-elevation swamps like Kintz Swamp, Panther Swamp, and Henderson Swamp feed numerous runs and creeks that carve through the plateau. This 1990s survey shows the established recreational and institutional character of the area, anchored by Skytop and its Golf Course in the northwest. To the south, specialized settlements and recreational tracts appear, including the Hiawatha Club, Easton Anglers, and youth retreats such as Camp Canadensis and Camp William Penn. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like West Mountain and Snow Hill, while the Pennel Run Natural Area preserves the wild character of the eastern forest. Local history and genealogy interest is grounded in sites like the McComas Cem near Brodhead Creek.
