1955 Map of Stroudsburg

About this map

Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg serve as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned where Brodhead Creek meets the dramatic ridge of Kittatinny Mountain. The map illustrates a region transitioning from its industrial roots to a more modern infrastructure, with various interchanges like Interchange 50 connecting the bustling borough centers to the surrounding gaps. Along the heights, the State Teachers College and the Monroe County Courthouse anchor the urban grid, while the Erie Lackawanna railroad follows the river's path through the terrain. To the south, the slate-rich environment around Bangor and Roseto is marked by numerous quarries, contrasting with the recreational and natural space provided by the Appalachian Trail as it winds toward Mt Minsi and the Delaware River.
