2013 Map of Bushkill

About this map

Bush Kill and the Delaware River define this Pennsylvania-New Jersey borderland, carving through a landscape shaped by water and recreation. The celebrated Bushkill Falls and Resica Falls sit at the northern reaches, while the river's bend at the south is dotted with significant river features like Tocks Island, Labar Island, and Shawnee Island. This modern survey illustrates the evolution of the area from historical river crossings to a contemporary vacation destination, highlighting developed enclaves like Saw Creek and Winona Lakes alongside the Shawnee Mountain Ski Area. Geographers can trace the historic Old Mine Rd running parallel to the river near Pahaquarry Flat, passing through early settlements such as Shoemakers and Turn Villa. The presence of the Boy Scout Reservation and numerous bodies of water like Sunfish Pond and Hidden Lake emphasizes the region's enduring role as a protected corridor for outdoor activity within the Delaware Water Gap area.
