About this map

Damascus and Milanville anchor the western banks of the Delaware River in this 2016 survey of the Pennsylvania-New York borderlands. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent into the Delaware River Gorge, where the water serves as the state line between Wayne Co, Pennsylvania, and Sullivan Co, New York. This area, protected as part of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, preserves a rural character marked by numerous small cemeteries such as Overlook Cem and Hillside Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for local families.

Upland features like Conklin Hill and Tyler Hill overlook a network of tributary streams including Calkins Creek and Beaverdam Cr. The eastern side of the river shows the development around Cochecton and East Cochecton, while the presence of Campis Airport and various recreational bodies of water like Barkley Lake and Perry Pond illustrate the modern intersection of aviation and riverside leisure.
