Its title places the viewer in the Neversink, a river valley in the rugged uplands of southeastern New York, rather than in the New Jersey setting suggested by its gallery board. The Neversink flows through forested ridges and hollows before joining the Delaware River, which forms part of the boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania and, farther north, New York. Landscapes of wild mountain country like this were especially popular in the nineteenth century, when American painters and printmakers often presented such scenery as a symbol of the nation's natural heritage.
