About this map

Durham Furnace and the industrial remnants of Durham anchor this corridor along the Delaware River, where the borders of Pennsylvania and New Jersey meet. This area is characterized by a high concentration of small, historic crossroads settlements like Riegelsville, Kintnersville, and Finesville that developed around the river's water power and transportation potential. The map documents the complex topography of the region, from the heights of Hexenkopf Hill and Mine Hill to the dramatic Nockamixon Cliffs overlooking the water.

Evidence of early rural industry and local landmarks are preserved in labels like Haupts Mill Bridge and Durham Hill Farms. Modern land use is visible in the presence of Camp Nockamixon and Lake Warren, reflecting the transition of the landscape into a space for recreation and conservation. The density of named peaks, including Mount Joy and Coffman Hill, illustrates the varied terrain that defined the early settlement patterns of Hunterdon and Bucks counties.
