1943 Map of Lake Maskenozha

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Delaware River flows through the heart of this 1940s landscape, serving as the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The topographic survey reveals a region defined by its water and woods, from the larger Lake Maskenozha and Silver Lake to the smaller Richard Lake and Minks Pond. On the Pennsylvania side, the G W Childs State Forest Park and the USGS Dry Meadow Fire Tower overlook the wooded hills, while the New Jersey side is dominated by the Kittatinny Mountains and the winding Flat Brook. Small settlements and landmarks like Wallpack Center, with its Wallpack Center School, and Delaware PO indicate the rural community structure of the era. The presence of Shappack Island and Buck Bar in the river suggests the shifting currents and geography of the Delaware before later twentieth-century developments altered the valley.
