About this map

Damascus and Cochecton sit as prominent points of connection on opposite banks of the river, linked by the Cochecton Dam Road Bridge in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Beaverdam Cr and Calkins Cr, which drain through the upland terrain of Conklin Hill and past the valley floor at Big Island. Smaller hamlets and rural crossroads such as Milanville, Tyler Hill, and Stanton Corner are connected by a dense network of local routes like Lassley Rd and Brook Rd.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by a collection of water bodies, including Barkley Lake, Perry Pond, and Mitchell Pond, reflecting the hydrography of the Upper Delaware region. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks and historical transit points like Smith Switch or the quiet settlement at East Cochecton, while topographic details reveal the interplay between narrow valley roads and the high ridges separating the creek branches.
