1947 Map of Twelvemile Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Pike County's high wetlands and sporting clubs define this 1940s landscape, where private preserves like Porters Lake Club and Beaver Run Club occupied large tracts of the Porter and Lehman townships. The topography is dominated by an intricate network of glacial basins and drainage, including Twelvemile Pond, Lake Minisink, and the expansive Inlet Swamp. This era shows a transition from local rural life—anchored by the Hunters Range Sch—to the establishment of vacation and recreation sites such as Camp Taminiment and Forest Park. Evidence of earlier travel routes persists in labels like Old Shohola Road, while infrastructure developments like the Beaver Run Dam reflect mid-century water management efforts across the Bushkill Creek watershed. The map illustrates a region shifting from remote timberland and small settlements like Sandyville toward a formalized recreational corridor.
