About this map

Milford serves as the focal point of this riverine landscape, situated where the Sawkill Creek meets the Delaware River at the boundary of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The settlement pattern reflects the complex topography of the river valley, with clusters like Montague and Sandyston connected by roads that skirt the steep embankments of The Cliff and The Knob. This 1958 survey, updated with 1983 revisions, documents a region defined by its conservation and recreational lands, including the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area and Stokes State Forest.

Genealogists will find significant local data in the numerous rural landmarks, such as the Township School, Minisink Church, and Hainesville Cemetery. The map also captures the intricate hydrology of the area, from the Raymondskill Falls to the large river islands like Minisink Island and Mashipacong Island, illustrating the long-standing relationship between these valley communities and the water.
