2013 Map of Hamden

About this map

The West Br Delaware River carves a narrow valley through the heart of this landscape, anchoring small settlements like Hamden and De Lancey. This 2013 survey records a rural geography defined by its hollows and family legacies, where topographic landmarks like Devils Backbone and Scotch Mountain tower over winding roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of localized burial grounds, including the Yendes Family Cem, Bostwick Cem, and the Thompson Family Cem. Along the river, the Hamden Covered Bridge stands as a notable architectural landmark, while agricultural sites like Lucky Dog Farm reflect the continuing heritage of the region. The map also traces the drainage patterns of numerous tributaries, such as Platter Brook and Bagley Brook, as they descend from the high ridges into the main river valley.
