About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the borderlands between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Twin river towns New Hope and Lambertville anchor the northern landscape, where the Penn Central rail line tracks the river's eastern bank. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges such as Solebury Mountain and Jericho Mountain, which constrain the spread of development.

Southward, the map details the storied grounds of Washington Crossing State Park, marking a critical juncture of the American Revolution. The rural character of Bucks County is evident through a network of small hamlets and family-named locations like Ryans Corner, Stoopville, and Penns Park. Institutional landmarks, including the Mercer County Workhouse and the Fairfield Sch, reflect the civic infrastructure of the era, while the Thompson Memorial Cem offers a point of interest for those tracing local lineages.
