1893 Map of Delaware Watergap

About this map

Delaware River cuts a deep path through the Kittatinny Mountain and Pahaquarry Range at the turn of the century, serving as a corridor for an intense concentration of industrial transportation. The map reveals a landscape defined by the extraction and movement of natural resources, most notably at the Slate Quarries and Old Bangor Slate Quarry near Bangor. Further south, the historical Oxford Furnace stands as a landmark of early American iron production.
