2016 Map of Portland

About this map

The Delaware River carves through the landscape here, defining the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. On the eastern banks, the borough of Portland and the village of Columbia are connected by a bridge over the water, serving as a focal point for local transport and commerce. The topography is dominated by the steep slopes of Kittatinny Mountain, which hosts the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it winds through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. For family historians, the map identifies several local resting places including Saint Vincent Cem, Knowlton Frame Cem, and the Riverview Cem in Portland. Smaller inland settlements like Hainesburg, Knowlton, and Delaware are scattered along the Paulins Kill and various creek drainages, while localized aviation is represented by several small fields including the Mount Pleasant Landing Strip.
