About this map

The Delaware River carves a deep valley at the border of Pennsylvania and New York, anchoring a landscape where river-bottom hamlets like Milanville and Cochecton sit opposite one another. The terrain rises sharply from the Delaware River Gorge toward high points like Conklin Hill and Tyler Hill, where the land opens into a patchwork of upland ponds and small settlements. This modern survey shows the enduring footprint of long-established communities through its network of local cemeteries, including Hillside Cem, Overlook Cem, and the Lake Huntington Presbyterian Cem to the east.

Transportation patterns are defined by the river’s bend, with the Cochecton Dam Road Bridge providing a vital crossing point. Away from the water, the geography is dotted with recreation and local infrastructure, from the small Campis Airport to water bodies like Barkley Lake, Perry Pond, and Swago Pond. The protected status of the river corridor is noted by its designation as the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.
