Set on a wooded hillside, this view of a log cabin in the Cherry Valley area places the viewer in the rugged country near the Delaware Water Gap, where the Delaware River cuts through the Kittatinny Ridge on the Pennsylvania and New Jersey border. Log dwellings like this one were common across the region's farmland and mountain valleys during the 18th and 19th centuries, when settlers, many of them of German and Scots-Irish descent, built with timber cut from the surrounding forest. The gap later drew tourists and conservationists, and the area became a national recreation area in 1965, which helps explain why such rural scenes now seem so distant from the landscape visitors see today.
