About this map

Wallpack Center sits on the eastern bank of the Delaware River, marking a quiet intersection of heritage and recreation within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This terrain is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous upland basins like Lake Maskenozha, North Lake, and Silver Lake, alongside extensive wetlands such as Big Bear Swamp. The map documents a landscape split between the densely platted residential communities of Pocono Mountain Lake Estates and Pocono Ranch Lands to the west, and the protected river corridor to the east.

Along the river valley, the legacy of early regional industry and settlement is preserved through place names like Egypt Mills and Haneys Mill. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high ground of Kittatinny Mtn, overlooking Shapanack Island and the Middle Delaware Wild and Scenic River. This survey captures the coexistence of modern vacation-style development and preserved wilderness along the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border.
