About this map

The Delaware River carves a sharp, winding path through this corner of Pike County, serving as the border between Pennsylvania and New York. This riverine landscape is defined by the steep descent of Shohola and the river-based commerce and recreation at Barryville and Lackawaxen. The presence of the Conrail line along the southern bank underscores the region's historic reliance on rail transport following the river's grade.

Upland from the valley, the terrain is dotted with numerous water bodies such as Walker Lake and Twin Lakes, alongside significant public holdings like State Game Lands No 116. Genealogists and local historians can locate several houses of worship and burial grounds, including St Anns Ch, St Jacobi Ch, and the German Hill Cem. The map also preserves the location of the Minisink Battleground Park Monument, marking a notable Revolutionary War site at the Minisink Ford.
