About this map

Kittatinny Mtn and the winding Delaware River define this corner of the Northeast, where Pennsylvania and New Jersey meet. This 2016 survey highlights the significant conservation lands of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, including the path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it traverses the ridge. The landscape is characterized by its numerous falls, such as Bushkill Falls and Resica Falls, which punctuate the drainages of the Bush-Kill and Little Bush-Kill.

Settlement patterns follow the valleys and historical thoroughfares like Milford Rd. Established communities such as Bushkill, Shoemakers, and Shawnee on Delaware are joined by smaller locales like Oak Grove and Poplar Bridge. Notable local markers include the Sand Hill Cem near Turn Villa, while river features like Tocks Island and Poxono Island provide reference points for the shifting river boundary between Monroe and Warren counties.
