About this map

The confluence of the East Branch Delaware River and the West Branch Delaware River at Hancock serves as the geographic heart of this border region. The landscape is defined by the sharp river bends and the steep rises of Point Mountain and Kingsbury Hill, where rural settlements and infrastructure adapted to the narrow valleys. The village of Hancock is the primary hub, anchored by the Central High Sch and a distinctive Mausoleum overlooking the valley.

South into Pennsylvania, the topography transitions to a network of lakes and smaller settlements like Starlight and Preston Park. The rail corridor of the New York Pennsylvania line follows the river's path, connecting riverfront locations like Cadosia and Stockport. Throughout the terrain, smaller water bodies such as Hiawatha Lake and Perch Pond dot the highlands, while the State Game Lands No 299 preserves large tracts of the upland forest.
