2013 Map of Hancock

About this map

The West Br Delaware River and East Br Delaware River meet at the village of Hancock, a significant geographic junction where the main stem of the Delaware River begins its journey south. This 2013 survey details the village's historic core, including the Old Village Community Cem and the Hancock - Buckingham Bridge connecting the New York and Pennsylvania border. The landscape is defined by the surrounding heights of Point Mountain and Coon Hill, which channel numerous tributaries like Sands Cr and Cadosia Cr toward the river valley. To the south, smaller settlements like Starlight and Preston Park sit among a high-elevation plateau dotted with water bodies such as Starlight Lake and Hempstead Lake. The presence of the Initial Monument in the northwest corner near Hawks Nest marks a critical point in the regional survey history.
