About this map

The Delaware River cuts through this borderland landscape, separating Wayne County, Pennsylvania from the hills of New York as they appeared in 1920. This survey shows a rural economy organized around numerous small schoolhouses, such as Hankins School, Price School, and Pine Mill School, which served the scattered residents of Hilltown and Abrahamsville.

Transport is defined by the winding river and its tributaries like Equinunk Creek and Hankins Creek, with a Ferry still facilitating cross-border movement. Notable water bodies including Duck Harbor Pond and Crystal Lake are visible alongside marshy pockets like Cranberry Marsh and Black Ash Swamp. This document captures the intricate placement of community landmarks, from the Union Church to the Read Cemetery, during a period of established hilltop farming and timber-driven settlement.
