1954 Map of Branchville
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Kittatinny Mountain dominates the western landscape of this mid-century Sussex County survey, its ridgeline followed by the iconic Appalachian Trail through Stokes State Forest and High Point State Park. The terrain transitions from these high elevations down toward the valley settlements of Branchville and Augusta, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the Lehigh and New England railroads provide critical transport links. Small rural hubs such as Beemerville, Wykertown, and Frankford Plains punctuate the agricultural landscape, which also hosts specialized sites like the U S Soil Conservation Experimental Farm. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Frankford Plains Ch and Branchville Cem, reflecting the area's established social and civic fabric during a time when the Sussex Airport and State School of Conservation also appear.
