About this map

Paulins Kill meanders through the heart of this Warren County landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and agricultural landmarks. The topography is defined by the prominent Jenny Jump Mtn to the south and a series of water bodies including Lake Genevieve, Paulina Lake, and Silver Lake. The map details the rural character of communities like Blairstown, Marksboro, and Hope, where the placement of local roads and farmsteads reflects generations of land use.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several distinct burial grounds documented, such as Swayze Cem, Moravian Cem, and the Union Brick Cem. The presence of Swayzes Mills and Longmeadow Farm underscores the historical importance of milling and agriculture along the area's many brooks and runs. Modern infrastructure, including the Blairstown Airport, sits alongside these older features, providing a look at how this part of New Jersey has balanced growth with its rural heritage.
