About this map

The West Branch Delaware River and East Branch Delaware River converge near Hancock at the northern edge of this map, defining a landscape where Pennsylvania’s Wayne and Susquehanna counties meet the New York border. The terrain is defined by high peaks like Mount Ararat and Sugarloaf Mtn, with a dense concentration of small glacial lakes such as Lake Como, Shehawken Lake, and Poyntelle Lake.

Railroad infrastructure from the early 20th century is prominent, including the Erie RR and the New York Western RR which served the timber and industrial needs of the region. Local life is documented through numerous rural schools and churches, including the Fairmont Sch and Church Hill. Industry is specifically noted at Cadosia Factories in the northeast, while the southern half of the sheet reveals a high concentration of recreational sites like Camp Wayne and Camp Scodale, reflecting the area's development as a summer retreat destination.
