About this map

Lords Valley and the expanding residential community of Hemlock Farms serve as the primary hubs in this lake-rich section of Pike County. The landscape is defined by extensive protected acreage, including State Game Lands No 180 and the Delaware State Forest, which together preserve a complex network of wetlands and upland ridges. Water is the dominant feature, ranging from the large recreational waters of Pecks Pond and Lake Giles to specialized terrain like Halsey Meadow Swamp and Little York Swamp.

The infrastructure reflects a late 20th-century balance between accessibility and conservation, with major thoroughfares and interchanges cutting through the forested hills. High-elevation points like High Knob and Madden Hill overlook a geography punctuated by smaller water bodies such as Blue Heron Lake and McConnell Pond. This map details the transition from traditional hunting and forestry lands to established woodland communities, preserving the location of family-named landmarks and camps like Rock Hill Camp.
