About this map

The Lackawaxen River and its major tributaries define the movement of this Pike County landscape, carving through hills where Shimers Rock Cut and Shimers Mtn stand as prominent landmarks. The river valley serves as a historical corridor for small settlements like Glen Eyre, Baoba, and Kimble, which sit along the winding course of Towpath Rd. Further east, the village of Rowland occupies a bend in the river, while the upper reaches of the map are preserved by the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.

Upland from the river valleys, the terrain is dotted with numerous bodies of water and wetlands, including Lake Greeley, Selma Lake, and the expansive Beaver Swamp. For those researching local families, several small burial grounds are documented, such as Mount Moriah Cem, Rowlands Cem, and the Rockelein Perry Cem near Bald Hill. This survey shows a region where modern lakeside development around Sylvania Lake and Greeley meets older, established rural hamlets.
