1954 Map of Culvers Gap

About this map

Kittatinny Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape, bisected by the Appalachian Trail as it runs along the ridge above Culvers Lake. The area shows a transition between traditional agricultural settlements like Layton and Peters Valley (Bevans P O) and the growing recreational character of Stokes State Forest. Numerous youth camps, including the Madeleine Mulford Girl Scout Camp and Sakawawin Boy Scout Camp, are situated near glacial water bodies like Lake Ashroe and Lake Owassa. The Delaware River forms the western boundary, where the historic Dingmans Ferry crossing connects New Jersey to Pennsylvania. Researchers will find a preserved network of rural institutions, from the Sandyston Ch to the Wallpack Consolidated Sch, alongside the legacy of the East West Jersey Line (Blue Mtn) survey boundary.
