2019 Map of Branchville

About this map

Kittatinny Mtn and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail dominate the western ridgeline of this Sussex County landscape. The terrain transitions from the high elevation of Sunrise Mtn down into a valley marked by agricultural hamlets and watercourses like the Paulins Kill and Papakating Creek. Significant protected land is found within the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored by long-standing settlements such as Beemerville, Wykertown, and Libertyville, which are connected by a network of rural roads and turnpikes. For genealogists, the map identifies the Beemerville Cem and Branchville Cem, providing precise locations for family research in these small communities. The map also captures the residential development around Lake Neepaulin and the industrial footprint of a Quarry near Augusta.
