About this map

The Delaware River forms a natural border through this landscape, separating New Jersey settlements like Frenchtown and Milford from their Pennsylvania counterparts. The river valley is defined by significant historical infrastructure, notably the Uhlerstown Covered Bridge and the Erwinna Covered Bridge, which serve as tangible links to the region's 19th-century transit patterns. This survey reveals a high density of small-scale aviation, with five distinct landing strips including Alexandria Airport and Erkes Airport dotting the countryside.

Upland from the river, the terrain rises toward Riegel Ridge and Cumulus Ridge, where older agricultural hamlets such as Little York, Everittstown, and Mount Pleasant are situated. For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are preserved here, including the Milford Union Cemetery and Alexandria Cemetery. The drainage network, featuring Nishisakawick Creek and Hakihokake Creek, continues to shape the local geography as it has since the earliest colonial settlements were established along these tributary banks.
