About this map

The Lackawaxen River winds through this corner of Pike County, shaping a landscape defined by deep river bends and conservation lands. The late-twentieth-century topography shows a territory largely preserved within Delaware State Forest and various state game lands, yet punctuated by long-established settlements. Along the northern rail corridor, landmarks like Shimers Rock Cut and Glen Eyre speak to the area's industrial transit history. Moving south into the plateau, small communities such as Germantown and Greeley are surrounded by an intricate network of wetlands, including Smithsko Swamp and Little Mud Pond Swamp. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like Mt Moriah Cem near Kimble and the Pillar of Fire Ch, providing essential touchstones for family historians tracing the inhabitants of these wooded uplands and creek valleys.
