About this map

Madisonville and the surrounding highlands of the Madison and Sterling townships define this landscape in the late 1990s. The region is characterized by a high concentration of water bodies and wetlands, including Thousand Acre Swamp and Wildcat Swamp, which feed the headwaters of several significant drainage systems. The West Branch Wallenpaupack Creek and the West Fork Lehigh River both originate in these uplands, illustrating the area's role as a local watershed divide.

Genealogists will find numerous points of historical interest, from the Drinker Sch and its associated Drinker Sch Cem to the smaller settlements of Freytown and Jericho. The map also details the residential development around Pocono Peak Lake and the extensive recreational territory within State Game Lands No 312. Local infrastructure is represented by the Spring Hill Airpark and various extractive sites such as the Quarry near Salem.
