About this map

The Delaware River carves a path through this Tri-State region in the late 1940s, defining the meeting point of New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The industrial and transit hub of Port Jervis dominates the northern edge of the sheet, while the nearby settlement of Tristates marks the confluence with the Neversink River. This survey captures the area just before significant mid-century changes, showing local infrastructure like the Matamoras Airport and the Port Jervis Golf Club.

To the south, the landscape rises into the high terrain of High Point State Park, where several water bodies including Lake Marcia and Steeny Kill Lake are situated. Rural life is evident through landmarks like River School No 1, Clove School, and the unique Life Magazine Camp near Mashipacong Pond. The map provides a clear record of local industry and social history, from the Rock Quarry near Duttonville to the Colesville settlement in the southeast corner.
