About this map

The Delaware River winds through the heart of this borderland region, defining the boundary between Pennsylvania and New York. The community of Narrowsburg serves as a central hub along the riverbanks, where the Erie railroad line tracks the water's edge through Tusten and past Tusten Station. The landscape is dominated by high ridges like Point Peter and Rattlesnake Ridge, interspersed with numerous glacial water bodies such as Teedyuskung Lake, Wolf Lake, and the expansive Panther Lake.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific community landmarks including St Francis Ch and the Lava Cem near the settlement of Lava. Large tracts of protected territory, such as State Game Lands No 316 and Westoolang Park, indicate a region heavily defined by conservation and recreational forestry by the late 20th century. Smaller historic hamlets like Atco, Darbytown, and Branningville are documented alongside family-named water features like Feagles Lake and Clarks Pond.
