1956 Map of Riegelsville

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this border region between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where the Musconetcong River joins the main flow near Riegelsville. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of a bygone industrial era, most notably the Pennsylvania Canal (Abandoned) and the tracks of the Penn Central railroad lining the riverbanks. These transportation corridors once supported the iron-working operations at Durham Furnace and the milling activity in Finesville.
