1954 Map of Lake Maskenozha

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Delaware River forms the central artery of this mid-century landscape, carving a sharp boundary between Pike County, Pennsylvania and Sussex County, New Jersey. In the mid-1950s, the region was defined by its recreational and agricultural character, with numerous seasonal retreats such as Camp Fire Girls Camp, Camp Massad, and Camp Log-N-Twig scattered across the elevations. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Lake Maskenozha and the dramatic cascades at Silverthread Falls and High Falls. Small, localized settlements like Wallpack Center and Egypt Mills provide points of historical interest on either side of the river. The presence of a Firetower and the ridge of Kittatinny Mtn overlook a complex network of wetlands like Big Bear Swamp, reflecting a period when this stretch of the river valley remained primarily rural and focused on outdoor youth and community camps.
