1955 Map of Stroudsburg

About this map

Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg serve as the focal points of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the Brodhead Creek meets the dramatic corridor of the Delaware River. The map captures a period of transition as highway interchanges begin to weave through the older street grids of the riverside towns and the campus of the State Teachers College. South of the urban center, the terrain is dominated by the steep ascent of Kittatinny Mountain, which is traversed by the Appalachian Trail as it passes landmarks like Mt Minsi and Totts Gap.
