About this map

Lake Maskenozha and the surrounding woodlands of the Delaware State Forest define this mid-1990s landscape on the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border. The map documents a transition from traditional rural industry to a recreation-heavy economy, evidenced by several seasonal retreats such as Camp Fire Camp, Camp Log-N-Twig, and Camp Massad. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the Delaware River, which carves through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

Genealogists and local historians can trace older settlement patterns at Egypt Mills and Wallpack Center, or locate the Holy Trinity Ch and the site of Haneys Mill. The area is geographically notable for its dramatic water features along Dingmans Creek, including the stacked landmarks of Dingmans Falls, Silverthread Falls, and Fulmer Falls, providing a detailed record of the Pike and Sussex County terrain before the turn of the twenty-first century.
