About this map

The Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor defines the southwestern reach of this landscape, where the border between New York and Pennsylvania follows the winding waterway. The settlement of Eldred serves as a local hub, connected to the nearby village of Yulan and the smaller hamlet of Newieden. This area of Sullivan County is characterized by an extensive network of water bodies and wetlands, including Washington Lake, Montgomery Lake, and the expansive Big Brady Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several key landmarks, such as Saint Anthonys Cem near Eldred and Beaver Brook Cem further north. The terrain is marked by distinct valleys like Deep Hollow and various smaller ponds such as Turnpike Pond and Silver Lake. The map details a transition from the protected river valley to a highland interior dotted with namesake features like Crystal Lake and Fox Lake, reflecting a region defined by its reliance on the Delaware River's watershed.
