About this map

Delaware River islands and high bluffs define this borderland between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The steep topography of the river corridor is punctuated by features like Devils Tea Table and Tumble Falls, while the plateau above supports a network of rural hamlets including Lumberville, Point Pleasant, and Erwinna. Local history is deeply etched into the landscape through institutions like Brick Church Sch, Tahicken Hill Sch, and Kingwood Ch.

Along the eastern bank, the Raritan Canal follows the river's curve past Bulls Island and Raven Rock, reflecting the corridor's long-standing role as a vital transportation artery. Further inland, the map captures the transition from river settlements to the agricultural hinterlands of Plumstead and Solebury townships, where Geddes Run and Tohickon Creek carve deep valleys through the countryside toward Ralph Stovers State Park.
