About this map

The US Military Reservation Tobyhanna Army Depot dominates this portion of the Poconos, featuring the extensive infrastructure of Betts Army Airfield and numerous logistics buildings during the mid-1960s. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and conservation areas, including Gouldsboro State Park and the expansive State Game Lands No 127. The presence of the Erie Lackawanna railroad line provides the primary industrial spine through the region, connecting the settlements of Gouldsboro and Tobyhanna.

Emerging residential developments like Stillwater Lake Estates and Pocono Summit Estates indicate the area's mid-century growth as a recreation and vacation destination. Smaller locales such as Warnertown and family-named landmarks like Bill Warner Spring and Jimmy Pond offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local land use. The map also captures the local aviation history of the Mount Pocono Airport and the social geography of Camp Tegawitha near Lynchwood Lake.
