About this map

The Delaware River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Pennsylvania and New York, anchoring the riverfront settlements of Lackawaxen, Shohola, and Barryville. This mid-1960s landscape, later updated in 1973, reveals a community built around the water and the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line. Cultural and local history is deeply etched into the terrain, from the Minisink Battlefield Memorial overlooking the valley to the small rural congregations of St Anns Ch and St Jacobs Ch.

The presence of the Shohola Sch and several family-named burial grounds like Montoza Cem and German Hill Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogical research. Further inland, the map transitions to the recreational and resource-rich areas of State Game Lands No 116 and State Game Lands No 180, where Shohola Creek feeds the dramatic Shohola Falls. This area maintains a balance between its industrial past, evidenced by several Gravel Pits, and its growing identity as a lakefront retreat at Walker Lake and Twin Lakes.
