2014 Map of Culvers Gap

About this map

Kittatinny Mountain and the water-carved notch of Culvers Gap dominate the terrain of this Sussex County landscape. The ridge serves as a natural divide between the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to the west and the lake-studded lowlands to the east. The riverfront is anchored by the historic crossing at Dingmans Ferry, where Old Mine Road—one of the oldest colonial-era commercial routes in the region—runs parallel to the Delaware River. Inland, the map reveals a high density of recreation and conservation land, including Stony Lake, Lake Shawanni, and Tillman Falls. Small hamlets like Layton, Hainesville, and Bevans persist among the hills, while the village of Branchville serves as a gateway in the southeast. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, such as Bevans Cemetery and Wallpack Cemetery, documented near these long-established communities.
