1943 Map of Culvers Gap

About this map

Kittatinny Mountain dominates the landscape of this 1943 War Department survey, marking a sharp geological divide in Sussex County. On its western slopes, the terrain descends toward the Delaware River, where the historic Dingmans Ferry provides a critical crossing point near the Delaware Cemetery. The map captures a moment of established rural life in Sandyston and Frankford townships before modern development altered the valley floor. Large tracts of land are preserved as Stokes State Forest and Richfield State Park, punctuated by seasonal camps like Kittatinny Camp and the Madeleine Mulford Girl Scout Camp. Local industry is represented by the Snooks Lumber Mill and a Gravel Pit, while the agricultural character is maintained by family tracts such as Sunny Bank Farm. The presence of several schools, including Sandyston School and Mt Pisgah School, highlights the social hubs of these small mountain communities.
