About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this borderland where Pennsylvania meets New Jersey, cutting through the gap between Kittatinny Mtn and Big Ridge. In the river's path, several large landforms like Tocks Island, Labar Island, and Poxono Island break the current, while the surrounding hills are punctuated by smaller settlements such as Bushkill and Shawnee on Delaware.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the numerous religious and family burial sites recorded here, including the Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Burying Ground and the Frutcheys Methodist Church Cem. The landscape reflects a mix of conservation and community, anchored by the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the winding Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Water remains a defining feature of the terrain, from the heights of Resica Falls and Bushkill Falls to the sprawling Upper Yards Creek Reservoir.
