THE DELAWARE LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Low Poconos setting.
Delaware township has 43.7 square miles of land in Pike County. Its Census reference point is in Low Poconos, within North Central Appalachians.
Forest-covered plateau surfaces, high hills and low mountains are underlain by layered sedimentary rocks. Most of this region escaped continental glaciation, leaving deeply cut upland terrain.

Delaware and Pike County
Delaware is associated with Pike County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Delaware by land and water
The Census records 1.77 square miles of water within Delaware, or 3.9% of its total area. That share is close to Pike County’s 3.9%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Delaware township has 35 times the land area of nearby Birchwood Lakes CDP (1.25 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
