2016 Map of Culvers Gap

About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of the Kittatinny Mtn range defines this 2016 survey, where the Delaware River forms the state boundary near the historic crossing at Dingmans Ferry. This area is heavily defined by its protected natural spaces, including the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which winds along the ridgelines through Culvers Gap. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds such as Delaware Cem and Wallpack Cem, which sit near old settlement sites like Bevans and Layton. The geography is notably water-rich, featuring a dense network of glacial lakes including Culvers Lake, Lake Owassa, and the smaller Lake Ashroe. These water bodies and the surrounding woodlands create a distinct recreational and residential pattern characteristic of Sussex County, anchored in the southeast by the community of Branchville.
