2023 Map of Culvers Gap

About this map

The Delaware National Scenic River serves as the western boundary for this Sussex County landscape, where the waters of Dingmans Creek meet the river at Dingmans Ferry. To the southeast, the terrain rises sharply toward Kittatinny Mtn, a ridge crossed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. This area is defined by a series of glacial lakes and springs, including the large waters of Culvers Lake and the smaller Lake Ocquittunk. Small settlements like Layton, Bevans, and Tuttles Corner are linked by a network of historic routes such as Old Mine Rd. Genealogy researchers can find several burial grounds, including Wallpack Cem and Layton Cem, while the presence of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area indicates the transition from private land to public conservation. The southeastern corner features the larger hub of Branchville, positioned near Mount Pisgah.
