1893 Map of Wallpack

About this map

Kittatinny Mountain dominates this late-nineteenth-century landscape, acting as a massive geological spine that separates the valley of the Delaware River from the glaciated lake country of Stillwater and Frankford. Along the river's winding course, local commerce and travel are defined by water crossings such as Dingmans Ferry, Deckers Ferry, and Smiths Ferry, which connected the remote townships of Lehman and Sandyston. The dramatic river loop at Wallpack Bend highlights the sharp relief of the terrain before the river flows south toward the water gap.
