About this map

Milford stands at a sharp bend in the Delaware River, serving as a focal point for this 1958 survey that crosses the border between Pike County, Pennsylvania, and Sussex County, New Jersey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Sawkill Creek and Vandermark Brook, which descend toward the river valley. Notable terrain features like The Knob and The Cliff overlook the river bottomlands where Minisink Island and Mashipacong Island divide the current.

Evidence of the mid-century infrastructure appears in the pipeline routes and roads under construction, while the surrounding townships of Dingman and Montague remain largely rural. Genealogists can find several burial grounds, including the Milford Cem and Hainesville Cem, along with the Minisink Ch and St Thomas Ch. The inclusion of small settlements like Quinns Corner, Shaytown, and Abertown documents the dispersed community patterns of the Upper Delaware Valley during this era.
