1955 Map of Lumberville

About this map

The Delaware River carves a deep valley through this mid-century landscape, serving as a prominent boundary between Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The dual presence of the Pennsylvania Canal on the west bank and the Delaware and Raritan Canal on the east highlights the region's enduring transportation legacy. Settlement patterns are defined by small crossroads and riverside hamlets such as Point Pleasant and Lumberville, while the upland terrain is dotted with local institutions like the Brick Church Sch and Kingwood Ch. Along the meandering Tohickon Creek, Ralph Stover State Park and landmarks like Doans Cave indicate the area's transition toward recreation and conservation. The Penn Central tracks follow the river's curve, marking the industrial backbone that once connected these rural communities to larger markets.
