1976 Map of Thornhurst

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Thornhurst and Clifton serve as the primary residential anchors in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which utilizes aerial imagery to show the evolving landscape of the Pocono region. The development patterns around Arrowhead Lake are clearly visible, with street grids carving into the dense woodland that dominates this portion of the plateau. This orthophotograph, prepared from imagery taken in late October, reveals the stark contrast between the natural curves of the Lehigh River and the engineered subdivisions of the era. To the east, the expansive waters of Bradys Lake stand as a significant geographical feature, surrounded by the heavy forest cover typical of this Pennsylvania terrain. The map provides a raw visual record of rural modernization and the transition from wilderness to recreational-residential use.
