1997 Map of Portland

About this map

The Delaware River cuts a deep path through Kittatinny Mountain here, framing the tri-state border region of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The river corridor is a hub of transport and industry, featuring a prominent powerplant and the Pennsylvania New Jersey railroad line running parallel to the water. In the valley, the village of Portland sits across from Columbia, while smaller settlements like Hainesburg and Polkville are tucked into the interior hills of New Jersey. The map highlights a landscape preserved for public use, with the Worthington State Forest and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area covering much of the northern terrain. Local history is well-preserved through numerous family and community sites, including Knowlton Frame Cem, Riverview Cem, and the Vail Sch. Several former infrastructure points, such as the Hainesburg Sta, indicate the importance of the rail network to these riverside communities.
