1944 Map of Bushkill

About this map

Bushkill Falls and the surrounding wilderness of the Delaware Water Gap area appear in this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape of high ridges and significant river features. Along the Delaware River, the boundary between Pennsylvania and New Jersey is defined by a series of large islands including Poxono Island, Depew Island, and Shawnee Island. The river economy of an earlier era is still visible through landmarks like Dimicks Ferry, while the upland terrain is marked by Kittatinny Mountain and the Appalachian Trail.
