MARKSBORO, 31.2 miles (520 alt.), has freshly painted frame houses
and a few stores on both sides of the highway. The village is well situated on the slope of a hill above Paulins Kill, where Col. Mark Thomson,
Revolutionary soldier for whom the settlement was named, built a grist-mill in 1783. The region still produces good corn, especially fine crops being noted by a few yellow ears hung beside the farmhouse door.
Between Marksboro and Paulina the highway gradually descends along
the slope of a narrow valley, little more than a ravine, in which Paulins
Kill runs swiftly toward the Delaware and in which the tracks of the New
York, Susquehanna and Western R.R. find a footing. Beyond a low ridge
to the northwest the bulky Kittatinny Mts. are outlined. Straight ahead is
a view of Blairstown.
