2016 Map of Blairstown

About this map

Paulins Kill winds through this northern New Jersey landscape, anchoring a series of historic settlements including Blairstown and Hope. The area is characterized by its numerous water bodies, from the larger Paulinskill Lake to smaller features like Silver Lake and French Lake. A significant interpretive detail is the concentration of heritage sites in the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the Moravian Cem and Swayze Cem reflect the early colonial and religious history of Warren County. The steep terrain of Jenny Jump Mtn rises in the southeast, contrasting with the developed valley floors where the Blairstown Airport and local road networks connect older crossroads like Marksboro and Johnsonburg. This 2016 survey captures the modern state of these small townships, showing how the historic character of places like Swayzes Mills persists alongside contemporary infrastructure.
