1943 Map of Port Jervis South

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the convergence point for three states in this mid-century survey, where Port Jervis, New York, and Matamoras, Pennsylvania, face one another across the water. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent toward High Point, where Lake Marcia and Steeny Kill Lake sit perched above the river valley. The map documents the early infrastructure of High Point State Park and Stokes State Forest during a period when local rural education was still anchored by sites like River School No 1 and Clove Sch. Transportation and industry are centered on the river's path, featuring the E R R rail lines and a Rock Quarry near Duttonville. Small hamlets such as Colesville and Tristates illustrate the settlement patterns of the Kittatinny Mountains before the expansion of modern highway systems.
