1965 Map of Hancock
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The West Branch Delaware River and East Branch Delaware River converge at the town of Hancock, a significant rail and water hub on the border of Pennsylvania and New York. This 1960s landscape is defined by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad winding through the river valleys, serving timber and industrial operations evidenced by numerous quarries and gravel pits. The map details a transition from the structured streets of Hancock, featuring the Hancock High Sch and Riverview Cem, to the rural hamlets of Starlight and Preston Park to the south. Notable local landmarks like the Mausoleum at Point Mountain and the B'nai B'rith Camp near Mud Pond reflect the region's mid-century role as a destination for both industry and recreation, while the State Forest Preserve highlights the protected wilderness surrounding these river-valley settlements.
