About this map

The Delaware River forms a serpentine border between Pike County, Pennsylvania, and Sullivan County, New York, anchoring a landscape defined by steep river gorges and upland plateaus. Along the western bank, the Lackawaxen River joins the Delaware near the settlement of Lackawaxen, a site of significant regional history reflected in the nearby Minisink Battleground Trl. The map details a network of early river-crossing points and settlements like Shohola and Barryville, which developed around the natural topography of the Delaware River Gorge.

Upland from the river, the terrain rises toward German Hill and Bald Hill, where scattered burial grounds such as German Hill Cem and Holbert Cem speak to the area's rural genealogy. Water is a dominant theme beyond the main river channels, with Shohola Creek feeding into the Shohola Marsh Reservoir and the Shohola Falls area, while recreation-focused clusters appear around Walker Lake and Twin Lakes to the south. The presence of several family-named landmarks and small hamlets like Parkers Glen and Handsome Eddy illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of this riverine corridor.
