1965 Map of Thornhurst

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Thornhurst and Clifton sit at the center of this 1960s survey, capturing the Poconos landscape as residential development began to interface with extensive public lands. The map details the transition from industrial uses to recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Wagner Railroad Grade and several gravel pits alongside new community footprints like Locust Lakes Village. Thousands of acres are dedicated to Lackawanna State Forest and State Game Lands No 135, preserving a network of creeks including Silver Creek and Fenner Mill Creek. For the genealogist, several burial sites are documented, including Clifton Cem and the Pine Grove Cem. The landscape is defined by its water, from the expansive Bradys Lake to smaller named bodies like Kasulaitis Lake and Lake Champagne, reflecting the area's mid-century identity as a destination for outdoor leisure and summer residency.
