About this map

The Delaware River carves a dramatic path through the Kittatinny Mountains in this early 1940s survey of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania border. Along the river’s edge, the era of regional river crossings is preserved through Smiths Ferry, Rosencrans Ferry, and Deckers Ferry, serving settlements like Flatbrookville and Bushkill. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of the mountains, punctuated by landmarks such as the Fire Lookout Tower and the Catfish Pond Gap.

Industry and education in the rural townships are well-documented, from the Wintermutes Foundry near Stillwater to local institutions like the Mt Holly School and Hardwick TWS School. The southeastern portion of the map shows the emerging transportation network of the New York Susquehanna and Western railroad as it parallels the Paulins Kill, providing a clear view of the transition from the high ridges down into the valley farming communities of Hardwick Center and Spring Valley.
