About this map

The East Branch Delaware River carves a deep path through Delaware County in this modern survey, defining a landscape of high ridges and narrow hollows. The settlement of Fishs Eddy sits at a sharp bend in the river, connected to neighboring East Branch and Peas Eddy by the winding corridor of Co Rd 17. This area maintains a strong connection to its local history through several small burial grounds, including the Partridge Island Cem and the Pea Brook Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the families who settled these valleys.

Further south, the terrain rises toward Jehu Mtn and Bittersweet Hill, eventually leveling out near the community of French Woods. Here, the French Woods Church and adjacent French Woods Cem stand near a cluster of mountain lakes such as Sand Pond and Somerset Lake. Much of the southern reaches falls within the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, preserving the character of the winding creeks like Abe Lord Creek and Bouchoux Brook that feed the Delaware watershed.
