The Delaware Water Gap is a notch cut through the Kittatinny Ridge where the Delaware River has carved a path between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and this picture shows that passage as the eye would have met it in the nineteenth century. Travelers on the river and, after the 1850s, on the railroads that followed its banks, came to see the gorge as one of the region's great scenic sights. Resort hotels grew up in the small village at its foot, drawing vacationers who came to walk the cliffs and watch the river below. The gap remains a landmark of the Appalachian region, and the scene is worth studying for how little the ridge itself has changed compared with the towns around it.
