Alt Text Map of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, beginning near Hancock, New York, and ending near Port Jervis, New York. Campgrounds, Picnic Areas, Trails, Fishing Areas, and other features sit close to the river, and more than a dozen state forests and game lands, shown in green, are strewn about the long and narrow map. Extended Description The Delaware River winds down the map in a backwards-S shape, through New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Dozens of streams, creeks, and smaller rivers branching off of the river are labeled, as are the surrounding cities and roads. A note at the top in the map’s legend reads, “Most land along the river is privately owned. Respect the owners’ rights; do not trespass. National Park Service Jurisdiction is confined to the river itself, Ranger Stations, headquarters area, the Zane Gray Museum, Roebling Bridge, and some public river accesses.” This description will start by briefly laying out major roads that orient the map, then will go to the river's northern terminus, noting park features that line the river, and end at the southern terminus. It will also note state parks and game lands nearby and will conclude with a full transcription of the legend. Roads State Route 17, shown as a pale red line, wriggles down from the top left edge of the map, along the West Branch of the Delaware, curving around Hancock, and then heads east along the East Branch, before dipping down around Catskill Park’s south edge. Text at the top left reads “To Binghamton.” Interstate 84, shown as a thick red line, cuts across the map’s bottom. Text near the left edge reads “to Interstate 380 and Interstate 81 and Scranton.” Text near the bottom right edge reads “to Middletown, NY.” US Highway 6 stems off of I-84 around Milford, New Jersey, and heads diagonally west toward Hawley and Honesdale, Pennsylvania, passing through some Pennsylvania State Game Lands, Shohola Recreation Area, and Delaware State Forest. State Route 191 is near the river’s northern terminus, heading roughly south and then west toward US Highway 6 and Honesdale near the map’s midpoint. State Route 97 also follows along the river most of the way from top to bottom. About halfway down the map, State Route 17B splits off 97, heading southeast toward State Route 17 and Monticello. Near the southern terminus, State Route 42 splits off from 97 and heads north also toward State Route 17 and Monticello.
