About this map

The U S Military Reservation Tobyhanna Army Depot dominates this mid-1960s landscape, featuring Betts Army Airfield and a dense network of warehouses and rail spurs. The Erie Lackawanna railroad runs centrally through the quadrangle, connecting the settlements of Gouldsboro and Tobyhanna. This era captures the region's balance between military infrastructure, early recreational development, and vast protected acreage.

Residential growth is evident at Stillwater Lake Estates and Pocono Summit Estates near the southern border. These emerging communities are surrounded by extensive wetlands and state-managed lands, including State Game Lands No 127 and Tobyhanna State Park. The terrain is characterized by a complex system of marshes and runs, such as Bender Swamp and Fritz Run, which feed into major water bodies like Gouldsboro Lake and Stillwater Lake.
