1965 Map of Shohola

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the focal point for this 1965 survey, winding through the valley where Pennsylvania meets New York. The river's path is closely followed by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad, which connects the riverside hamlets of Shohola and Barryville. This corridor reflects a long history of transportation and conflict, anchored by the Minisink Battlefield Memorial and the Minisink Ford on the northern banks. The surrounding uplands, including German Hill and Bald Hill, are characterized by a transition from early agricultural settlements to conservation, evidenced by the large tracts of State Game Lands No 116. Genealogists will find significant local landmarks such as Woodtown Cem and several community churches like St Marks Ch, while the southern reaches showcase the recreational development of Twin Lakes and Walker Lake.
