About this map

The West Branch Delaware River snakes through the northern hills of this region, feeding into the massive Cannonsville Reservoir. This vast body of water altered the landscape, yet the surrounding ridges like Rock Rift Mtn and Tower Mtn maintain the high elevations characteristic of this section of Delaware County. Small settlements such as Rock Rift and Beerston sit along the reservoir's edge, while further south, the Read Creek Cem remains a quiet landmark of local genealogy near the winding Readburn Rd.

The southern reaches of the map are defined by a network of drainage basins, including the East Branch Delaware River and the meandering Dry Brook. These waterways served as the primary conduits for settlement in places like Readburn and Centerville. The terrain is punctuated by significant upland ponds such as Beaver Meadow Pond and Merrick Pond, indicating a landscape that, while managed for modern water needs, still preserves the remote rural character of earlier eras.
