1924 Map of Stoddartsville

About this map

Stoddartsville and the surrounding Poconos plateau define this landscape at a time when the region served as both a critical watershed and a growing recreation destination. The Lehigh River snakes through the center of the sheet, forming the boundary between Luzerne and Monroe counties. The presence of the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern Railroad in the north, passing through Clifton and Bradys Switch, highlights the importance of rail transport for the timber and ice industries that preceded the mid-century resort boom.
