2013 Map of Corbett

About this map

The East Br Delaware River meanders through the heart of this Delaware County landscape, connecting a string of small riverside settlements including Harvard, Shinhopple, and Long Flat. The valley's settlement patterns are closely tied to the water, with narrow roads like River Rd and Shinhopple Brook Rd tracing the paths of numerous tributary brooks. Small communities such as Corbett and Gregorytown serve as focal points in the eastern half of the map, while the Downsville Airport and the Corbett Road Bridge indicate the modern infrastructure supporting this rural area. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family plots, noting the distribution of local burial grounds such as the Harvard Cem, Long Flat Cem, and Gregorytown Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by prominent peaks and hollows, including Baxter Mtn, Fork Mtn, and Lindsley Hollow, which have long shaped the region's agricultural and residential boundaries.
