2016 Map of Rowland

About this map

The Lackawaxen River carves a deep valley through this corner of Pike County, passing the historical settlements of Rowland and Glen Eyre. This section of the river, part of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor, is flanked by steep terrain features like Shimers Mtn and the industrial-era Shimers Rock Cut. The landscape transitions from the river valley to upland plateaus punctuated by numerous water bodies, including Lake Greeley, Sylvania Lake, and Killams Pond. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as Mount Moriah Cem near Kimble and a network of small crossroad communities including Bohemia, Baoba, and Germantown. The layout of forest tracts like Fawn Lake Forest alongside traditional clearings like Boehm's Field illustrates the modern shift from timber and transit toward recreation and protected wilderness.
