1965 Map of Thornhurst

About this map

Thornhurst sits at the confluence of the Lehigh River and Choke Creek, serving as a central point in a landscape defined by state-managed forests and game lands. This 1965 survey reveals a region transitioning from its industrial roots to a recreation-focused economy, with developments like Locust Lakes Village and Arrowhead Lake emerging alongside older rural landmarks. Evidence of the area's earlier timber and transport history remains visible in the Old Railroad Grade and labels for Tannery Creek and Fenner Mill Run.
