About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 1950s survey, separating the borough of Milford in Pennsylvania from the communities of Montague and Sandyston in New Jersey. The river's path is marked by significant landforms such as Minisink Island and Mashipacong Island, which define the waterway's character before modern adjustments. On the Pennsylvania side, the landscape rises sharply from the riverbank to features like The Knob and The Cliff, while the New Jersey side remains more alluvial toward the Flat.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several country landmarks, including Minisink Church, Sandyston Church, and the Milford Cemetery. Smaller settlements and corners like Quinns Corner, Mc Cartys Corner, and Shaytown appear along the secondary road network, providing a glimpse of rural life in Pike and Sussex Counties. The presence of the Township School and the Tollgate near the river crossing points to the established civic infrastructure of the era.
