About this map

The West Branch Delaware River carves a deep valley through this portion of Delaware County, anchoring the small settlements of Hamden, De Lancey, and Fraser. The river's path is marked by significant local landmarks, including the Hamden Covered Bridge, which serves as a notable historic crossing point. This modern topographic survey illustrates a landscape defined by steep ridges and narrow cloves, where transportation follows the natural contours of the land along routes like Andes-Delancey Rd and Holmes Hollow Rd.

Genealogists will find several remote burial sites throughout the hills, including the Thompson Family Cem in the east and the Yendes Cem to the north. Named peaks and ridges such as Devils Backbone, Fyffe Cobble, and Scotch Mtn rise sharply above the river, while numerous hollows like Holmes Hollow and Arbuckle Hollow provide the names for the narrow valleys and roads that branching off from the main river corridor.
