About this map

The Tobyhanna Army Depot dominates this portion of the Poconos, showing its expansive industrial footprint and Betts Army Airfield during the mid-1960s. The landscape is a mosaic of conservation and military history, with the depot situated between the sprawling State Game Lands No 127 and the water-rich recreation areas of Tobyhanna State Park.

Residential growth is evident at the southern edge near Pocono Summit, where subdivisions like Stillwater Lake Estates and Pocono Summit Estates begin to carve into the timbered wetlands. Further north, the village of Gouldsboro sits at the head of Gouldsboro Lake, while the industrial legacy of the region is marked by numerous swamps and several quarries along the Conrail line. Named terrain features like Artillery Ridge and Powder Smoke Ridge suggest the area's specialized military utility.
