About this map

The Upper Delaware River carves a deep valley through the borderlands of New York and Pennsylvania, defining the settlement patterns of this mid-1960s landscape. Along the river, the village of Equinunk stands at the confluence of Equinunk Creek, while Lordville and Long Eddy anchor the northern reaches near the Conrail rail line. The interior uplands of Buckingham, Manchester, and Lebanon are marked by a dispersed network of small communities such as Priceville, Braman, and Lookout, many of which grew around early rural industries and local meeting points like Union Ch.

High elevations such as Big Hickory and Jensen Hill overlook a landscape dotted with numerous small lakes and ponds, including Duck Harbor Pond and Margaret Lake. The map reveals a transition toward recreation and conservation, showing multiple summer camps like Camp Equinunk and Camp Chicopee alongside large tracts of protected land in the Forest Preserve and State Game Lands No 159. Numerous quarries across the terrain suggest the local importance of stone extraction alongside traditional timber and farm economies.
