About this map

The Delaware River carves a deep valley through this borderland, serving as the primary boundary between Pennsylvania and New York. Along the river's winding course, protected lands including the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and the Upper Delaware Wild and Scenic River underscore the environmental and recreational significance of the watershed. Steep hills like Sam Miller Hill and Hawks Nest rise sharply from the water, creating a landscape of high ridges and narrow creek valleys such as Basket Creek and Hankins Cr.

Small agricultural and residential clusters are scattered throughout the highlands, including Obernburg, Fremont Center, and Mileses. Local history is anchored by several sites of interment, such as Saint Mary's Cem and Holy Cross Cem near Callicoon. The concentration of small settlements like Hankins and Hortonville along the tributary streams reflects an era of development tied closely to the region's complex hydrology and topographic constraints.
