648 SULLIYAN COUNTY.
Benjamin Tusten, who was killed in the battle of Minisink, in 1779.1 This town lies upon the n
bank of Delaware River. The w. and s. parts are very hilly, and the e. portions belong to the
plateau of rolling lands which comprises the greater part of Tusten, Highland, and Lumberland.
The average height ofdhis region is about 760 feet above the Delaware, or 1400 feet above tide.
The principal streams are Ten Mile River and its branches: Half Moon and Mill Ponds in-tlie e.,
and Mill, Davis, and Ganfield Ponds in the center, are the principal sheets of water. The soil is a
gravelly loam, and best adapted to pasturage. The people are generally engaged in farming and
lumbering. JVarrowsburgli, (p. v.,) containing about 35 houses, is the only village. It derives
its name from the fact that the Delaware is here compressed by two points of rock into a deep, narrow
channel. Over this is a wooden bridge, with a single span of 184 feet.2 The place is known to lum¬
bermen by the name of “ Big Eddy.” Below the narrows the river expands into a wide basin, which
in time of a freshet exhibits a stirring scene. Delaware Bridge and Beaver Brooli
are p. offices. John Moore kept the first inn and store, and R. Moore built the first mill. Tho
Baptist is the only church in town.
