About this map

The Lehigh River carves a central path through this landscape, which in the early 21st century features a mix of historic township settlements and established residential lake communities. The village of Thornhurst serves as a primary local node, while the presence of Locust Lakes Village and developments around Arrowhead Lake highlight the area's mid-to-late 20th-century growth as a residential and recreation destination.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Clifton Cemetery and Locust Ridge Cemetery, providing vital links to the families of Clifton and the surrounding township. The map documents the persistent influence of water and infrastructure on local geography, from the named creek runs like Fenner Mill Run and Spruce Run to the remnants of rail history found at Bradys Switch near the expansive Bradys Lake. Public access is noted at the Thornhurst Picnic Area, reflecting the region's character as a gateway to the Pocono plateau.
