(Milford, Pa. ) – Montague – Newton – Trenton – Junction with US 30; US 206.
Between Branchville and Ross Corner and between Andover and Netcong the Lackawanna R.R., and between Princeton and Bordentown the Pennsylvania R.R., parallel
the highway.
From the northern corner of the State US 206 runs almost directly
south. It cuts through the backbone of the Kittatinny range, a rugged region of forest, lake, and stream. The central section of the road runs
through rolling woodland and farming country, which includes the State's
most productive dairying region, and past the Revolutionary battlegrounds
of Princeton and Trenton. Southward US 206 traverses a picturesque dairy
country, until it reaches the pine woods, berry patches, orchards, and sandy
wastes of the Hammonton area.
US 206 crosses the Pennsylvania-New Jersey Line on the DELAWARE
RIVER FREE BRIDGE, 0.1 miles east of Milford, Pa. The river is smooth
flowing between rough banks of rock and pine. From the bridge the road
turns sharply R., climbing the rough face of the Kittatinny (Indian, chief
town) ridge.
Pennsylvania Line to junction with US 30, 131.7 miles
Many tourist homes, camps, and filling stations; hotels in the larger towns.
Two- or three-lane concrete roadbed except for short stretches of macadam.
