About this map

The U S Military Reservation Tobyhanna Army Depot dominates the central landscape of this Monroe County quadrangle, showing its extensive infrastructure including Betts Army Airfield, athletic fields, and a network of service roads. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a high concentration of glacial wetlands and water bodies, such as Gouldsboro Lake and Stillwater Lake, which are preserved within Gouldsboro State Park and Tobyhanna State Park. These conservation areas sit alongside substantial state game lands, illustrating a regional shift toward public recreation and military logistics in the late 20th century.

Evidence of local community life appears in the settlements of Gouldsboro and Tobyhanna, connected by the Conrail line. Genealogists and historians will find notable landmarks like the Coolbaugh Sch and Camp Tegawitha, while the presence of the Snowmobile Trail and several golf courses reflects the area's development as a Pocono mountain retreat. The map also records smaller named localities such as Warnertown and family-named features like Bill Warner Spring.
