About this map

The Delaware River carves a deep, winding valley through the borderlands of New York and Pennsylvania, anchoring the riverfront settlements of Callicoon and Hankins. In the early 1990s, this area of Sullivan County remains a landscape of high ridges like Long Ridge and Cherry Ridge, punctuated by family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Institutional life is centered around St Josephs Seminary and the Delaware Valley Central Sch, while the religious history of the German and Irish settlers is visible in St Marys Ch in Obernburg and St James Ch in Callicoon.

Industrial activity is noted by scattered Quarries, while the uplands transition into the State Forest Preserve near Crystal Lake. The complex network of waterways, including North Branch Callicoon Creek and Hankins Creek, dictates the location of older hamlets like Mileses and Fremont Center, showing how the topography of the Catskill foothills shaped community development away from the main river valley.
