About this map

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area dominates this landscape along the border of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where the Delaware River separates Pike and Sussex counties. The topography is defined by significant water features, from the large Lake Maskenozha and Lehman Lake to the secluded Little Bear Swamp. Modern residential developments such as Birchwood Lakes, Pocono Ranch Lands, and Pocono Mountain Lake Estates are interspersed with historical sites including the Brooks Burial Ground and the remnants of early settlement at Egypt Mills.

Tracing the eastern edge of the river, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the Kittatinny Mtn ridge, while the historic Old Mine Rd follows the valley floor. The map captures a complex network of recreational and residential land use, where trails like the Thunder Swamp Trl and Tumbling Waters Trl provide access to the dense woodlands and numerous upland ponds such as Silver Lake and North Lake.
