About this map

The Delaware River carves a deep path through the Pocono region, anchoring a landscape where established urban centers like Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg meet the dramatic rise of Kittatinny Mountain. This map documents the area during a period of transition, showing the expansion of settlements such as Arlington Heights and North Bangor alongside the massive acreage of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

Institutional footprints are prominent, including the State Teachers College and several parochial landmarks like St Matthew Sch and Our Lady of Mt Carmel Sch. The rugged terrain is traced by the Appalachian Trail, which follows the ridge lines of Blue Mountain and Godfrey Ridge. Local industry and transit are represented by numerous quarries and gravel pits in the south, while the Brodhead Creek and McMichael Creek define the hydrology of the northern valley.
