About this map

The Delaware River forms a serpentine border between New York and Pennsylvania, anchoring a landscape of tight river bends and steep hillsides. Along its northern banks, the Erie-Lackawanna railroad tracks follow the river's path, connecting the riverside settlements of Lordville and Long Eddy. Across the water in Pennsylvania, Equinunk sits at the confluence of Equinunk Creek, marking a transition from the industrial transport corridor of the river valley to the more isolated upland plateaus of Manchester and Damascus townships.

Extensive quarrying activity is visible throughout the terrain, particularly near Jensen Hill and Taylor Hill, suggesting a local economy tied to the land's geological resources. Deep in the interior, summer camps and recreational waters such as Union Lake, Price Pond, and Duck Harbor Pond are scattered among small crossroads like Priceville and Braman. The presence of the Union Ch and several rural cemeteries provides essential landmarks for those researching the early community fabric of this river border region.
