About this map

The Delaware River carves a deep valley at the border of New York and Pennsylvania, defining the character of this borderland landscape. The settlement of Callicoon sits at the southern bend, where Callicoon Creek meets the river near the expansive Tammany Flats. The topography is dominated by high ridges like Cherry Ridge and Long Ridge, with numerous small communities and family-named landmarks scattered through the uplands. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Holy Cross Cem and the Fremont Center Cem.

The map details the protected corridor of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, highlighting a region where recreational land use and rural settlements like Hortonville and Hankins coexist. From the heights of Hawks Nest to the shores of Crystal Lake, the network of county roads connects historic hamlets such as Obernburg and Mileses, tracing a settlement pattern influenced by the winding watercourses of Hankins Creek and Calkins Creek.
