2011 Map of Newfoundland

About this map

The Pequannock River valley defines the central corridor of this Highland landscape, where the settlements of Newfoundland and Oak Ridge served as historical transit points along the water. By the early 21st century, the region's character is shaped by massive water management projects including the Canistear Reservoir, Oak Ridge Reservoir, and Clinton Reservoir, which dominate the western and central terrain. Smaller hamlets like Union Valley and Postville are interspersed among numerous ponds and lakes, while Kanouse Mountain and Copperas Mountain provide significant topographical relief. Genealogists will find interest in the distributed burial sites, from the Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Cemetery near Macopin to the Turner Cemetery and Vreeland Cemetery. The presence of the Craigmeur Ski Slope near Kitchell points to the area's transition toward a recreation-focused economy.
