About this map

The Delaware River dominates this landscape as it flows through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area, separating Pennsylvania and New Jersey. On the Pennsylvania side, the town of Milford serves as a central hub, situated near the dramatic Raymondskill Falls and several tributary streams like Sawkill Creek. The map documents a blend of residential growth and conserved forest land, including the Delaware State Forest and Stokes State Forest.

Cultural landmarks are scattered across the valley, such as Minisink Ch and St Thomas Ch in New Jersey, while the Hainesville Cem and Milford Res Cem provide valuable points for genealogical research. The presence of several islands, including Minisink Island and Mashipacong Island, illustrates the river's historical braiding through this valley. Early settlement patterns are visible at rural crossroads like Mc Cartys Corner and Quinns Corner.
