About this map

Port Jervis serves as the central hub of this multi-state region, situated at the confluence of the Delaware River and the Neversink River. The map highlights a complex industrial and transport network where the Erie RR and the New York Ontario and Western RR converge near the Shawangunk Mountains. The settlement pattern follows the river valleys and rail lines, from the established neighborhoods of Matamoras across the river in Pennsylvania to the smaller hamlets of Cuddebackville and Huguenot to the northeast.

South of the main junction, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of Wantage and Minisink, where local centers like Unionville and Westtown supported agricultural and community life. Significant landmarks such as High Point and Lake Marcia provide clear reference points along the ridge lines, while the proximity of the New York New Jersey boundary line underscores the tri-state character of this turn-of-the-century river corridor.
