About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the borderlands between Hunterdon County, New Jersey, and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. On the eastern banks, the borough of Frenchtown and the town of Milford are centers of activity, linked by the Pennsylvania railroad line. The landscape rises sharply away from the water toward Musconetcong Mountain in the north, where small settlements like Little York and Spring Mills dot the high ground.

Rural life is anchored by institutions such as Milford Union Ch and Upper Tinicum Union Ch, alongside several community cemeteries. The presence of a Power House and Sub Sta near Frenchtown suggests the infrastructure of the era, while Camp Marudy and a private Airfield indicate the region's diverse land use. Waterways like Nishisakawick Creek and Hakihokake Creek carve through the terrain, feeding into the Delaware near established river crossings.
