About this map

The West Branch Delaware River snakes through the southern portion of this region, shaping the valley where the communities of Pinesville and Beerston are established. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Walton Mtn and Loomis Mtn, a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges that have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. The village of Walton sits at the eastern edge, serving as a local hub near the Walton Airport and the historic Walton Cem.

Agricultural and rural patterns are evident in the scatter of smaller settlements like Northfield and Loomis, each centered around its own creek or pond. Water is a defining element throughout the hills, from the headwaters of Pines Brook to the secluded Teed Pond. Researchers can trace the network of country roads such as Little Dryden Rd and Windfall Rd that link these upland settlements and their associated burial grounds, including Northfield Cem and Windfall Cem.
