About this map

Lake Como and the smaller settlement of Dillontown anchor this borderland geography, where the northern reaches of the Upper Delaware region meet the high terrain of northeastern Pennsylvania. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Spruce Pond, Sly Lake, and Long Pond, which drain into several branches of the Dyberry and Equinunk Creeks. In the northeast corner, the Upper Delaware Wild and Scenic River carves through the Delaware River Gorge, marking the transition between New York's Delaware County and Wayne County, Pennsylvania.

Evidence of historical transit and local community structure remains visible through the corridor of the O & W RR and central gathering points like Saint Juliana's Cem near Church Hill. These landmarks, along with named elevations such as Mansfield Hill and The Notch, illustrate the way topography shaped the development of these small mountain communities and their enduring reliance on the region's timber and water resources.
