2016 Map of Boonton

About this map

Boonton and its namesake reservoir anchor this northern New Jersey landscape, which is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and mountain ridges. The terrain transitions from the developed corridors of Denville and Lake Hiawatha to the high ground of Copperas Mtn and Pyramid Mtn. A significant cluster of historical cemeteries, including Union Chapel Cem, Marcella Cem, and Hibernia Cem, suggests a long-settled rural history that predates the modern suburban expansion. Large water bodies like Splitrock Reservoir and the Boonton Reservoir dominate the hydrology, while numerous smaller ponds like The Tarn and Dixons Pond are scattered throughout the valleys. The map documents the intricate road network of the Morris County Highlands, showing the established communities of Hibernia, Montville, and Kinnelon as they integrated into the larger metropolitan area by the mid-2010s.
