About this map

The Delaware River corridor serves as the primary artery for both commerce and transport in this 1906 survey of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania border. The twin settlements of Lambertville and New Hope anchor the river crossing, where the Delaware and Raritan Canal runs parallel to the water, facilitating regional trade. To the east, the landscape transitions into the rolling hills of East Amwell and West Amwell, characterized by a dense network of small hamlets like Ringoes, Larison Corner, and Sergeantsville.

Rail infrastructure is notably extensive, with the Pennsylvania Railroad Belvidere Division following the riverbank while the Reading Railroad System Hopewell and Pennington Division cuts through the interior near Hopewell. Distinctive topographic landmarks such as Goat Hill, Belle Mtn., and Jericho Mountain define the valley's western edge. The map also captures the historic site of Washington Crossing, marking a significant point of interest for local history and Revolutionary War enthusiasts.
