1893 Map of Delaware Watergap

Downstream, the river remains a critical transport artery, marked by river crossings such as Hartzells Ferry and Myeres Ferry. The rail network is remarkably complex for the era, featuring the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the New York Susquehanna and Western RR skirting the riverbanks. Small settlements like Stone Church P.O. and Delaware Water Gap provide essential waypoints for early travelers and residents near the gap.
