The Goshen Public Library and Historical Society has an indexed pamphlet or brochure titled "The Cheechunk and The Drowned Lands" by Borland-Wilcox . This work was prepared in 1925 by Mrs. Frances E. Borland-Wilcox and presented in May to the Historical Society of Middletown and Wallkill. This work was also published May 2, 1925 in the Middletown Times Press. The Middletown Times Press introduced her work as: "Valuable historical information to many residents of the section of Orange county known as the "Drowned Lands" lying south of Denton, is contained in a paper on the history of the Cheechunk, the outlet ditch or canal which changed the course of the Wallkill river, written and read by Mrs. Frances E. Borland-Wilcox Friday night at the May meeting of the Historical Society of Middletown and Wallkill Precinct, Inc., in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Mrs. Wilcox is a daughter of the late Charles Sweezy Borland, who as a young man was prominent in the town of Wawayanda. He and his family moved to the Cheechunk neighborhood in the town of Goshen, in 1880, and Mrs. Wilcox who has lived near this spot, has always been much interested in the history of the locality."
