About this map

Lake Maskenozha and the surrounding highlands of the Upper Delaware Valley are the primary focus of this mid-century survey. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of recreational camps and water bodies, including Camp Massad, Camp Log-N-Twig, and the Camp Fire Girls Camp. Natural landmarks like Silverthread Falls and High Falls within Childs State Forest Park illustrate the area's history as a destination for outdoor retreat and conservation.

Along the eastern edge, the Delaware River separates Pennsylvania from New Jersey, with Shapnack Island and Flat Brook marking the borderland. Small community centers such as Wallpack Center and Egypt Mills provide points of reference for local history, while the Holy Trinity Ch and various family-named ponds like Lehman Lake and Nyce Lake speak to the early settlement patterns and land ownership of the region.
