About this map

The Delaware River carves a sharp horseshoe bend through this mid-1960s borderlands survey, defining the boundary between Lumberland, New York, and the Shohola region of Pennsylvania. The hamlet of Pond Eddy sits at the base of this curve, served by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad tracks that follow the northern riverbank. This area is characterized by heavy forest cover and significant topographic relief, including Buckhorn Ridge and Pine Knot Ridge, which rise above the extensive State Game Lands No 209.

Water management and local industry are evident along the eastern edge of the map, where the Mongaup River feeds the Rio Reservoir. Infrastructure supporting the river economy is visible through the Gaging Sta and a Powerplant near Upper Mongaup. Local life is anchored by landmarks like Sacred Heart Ch and the Hillside Cem near Glen Spey, while the interior remains largely undeveloped, marked by features such as the Bushkill Swamp and the isolated Wallowing Hole.
