About this map

The Delaware River carves a winding boundary between Pennsylvania and New Jersey on this late-twentieth-century survey, anchoring the prominent community of Belvidere. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Pequest River and the Delaware, creating a hub of settlement and infrastructure that includes Bridgeville Station and the industrial remnants of an Old RR Grade. The topography rises sharply from the riverbanks toward Oxford Mountain and the Jenny Jump State Forest, where the terrain transitions from river-bottom settlements to high-elevation landmarks like Mt No More.

Local history is preserved through scattered hamlets and family-named locales such as Lommasons Glen, Brass Castle, and Summerfield. Water-based features like the Foul Rift and islands such as Macks Island and Dildine Island illustrate the river's character before it flows toward the southern reaches of Northampton Co and Warren Co. Educational and civic centers are clearly marked, including the High School and Town Hall in the heart of Belvidere.
