About this map

Promised Land State Park serves as the focal point of this recreational landscape, where Promised Land Lake and Lower Lake are surrounded by extensive public forest lands. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Egypt Meadow Lake and the expansive Balsam Swamp. Evidence of early community life appears at the settlement of Blooming Grove in the northeast, where the Good Shepherd Ch and Blooming Grove Sch are located.

The presence of the Lookout Tower on High Knob and numerous 4WD trails suggests a region largely dedicated to conservation and forestry. In the southwest, the smaller settlements of Roemersville and Leavitt sit near the banks of Kintz Creek and Mozette Cr. The map captures a sophisticated hydrological system where natural swamps like Panther Swamp and Shaffer Swamp feed into named brooks and lakes, illustrating the ecological character of this part of the Delaware State Forest.
