About this map

Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge dominates the central lowlands of this Sussex County landscape, where the Wallkill River meanders through a broad valley of wetlands and protected marshes. This modern survey illustrates the conservation-focused land use of the 21st century, punctuated by historic settlement patterns in Hamburg and Sussex. The terrain transitions sharply from the riparian corridor to the heights of Pochuck Mtn and the Hamburg Mountains, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traces the ridgeline.

Local history is preserved in a dense network of cemeteries, such as the Old Clove Church Cem and Hardyston Cem, which mark early parish centers. Small hamlets like Rudeville, McAfee, and Hardistonville remain distinct along the road corridors, even as suburban development fills the spaces between traditional hubs like Franklin. The map also details the aviation footprint of the Sussex Airport and the recreational value of numerous water bodies, including Wallkill Lake and Lake Neepaulin.
