About this map

Kittatinny Mtn forms the spine of this landscape, creating a dramatic physical divide between the valley of the Delaware River and the lake-studded plateau to the east. The ridge is traversed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which threads past landmarks like Culvers Gap and Rattlesnake Mtn. This area is defined by its abundance of water bodies, ranging from the large recreational waters of Culvers Lake and Lake Owassa to smaller, secluded spots such as Lake Ashroe and Lake Shawanni.

Settlement patterns follow the corridor of Us 206, linking communities like Hainesville, Tuttles Corner, and Normanook toward the borough of Branchville in the southeast. Along the river, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area preserves the riverfront near Dingmans Ferry, while several historic burial grounds including Delaware Cem and Walpack Cem provide points of interest for genealogists tracing the early families of Sussex County.
