About this map

The Delaware Water Gap dominates this river-valley landscape, where the Delaware River carves through the Kittatinny Mountains at the border of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In the early 1940s, this corridor was a vital intersection of transportation and recreation. Four different railroads, including the Delaware Lackawanna and Western and the New York Susquehanna and Western, trace the riverbanks and mountain passes, serving industrial needs while providing access to sites like Camp Weygadt (B S of A) and Camp Kiwanis.
