Bearfort Mtn and Kanouse Mtn dominate the Highlands landscape of northern New Jersey, framing a region defined by extensive watershed management and early industrial settlements. This 2019 survey captures the complex water system serving the metropolitan area, including the Canistear Reservoir, Clinton Reservoir, and Oak Ridge Reservoir. The Pequannock River winds through the valley, flanked by the NY S & W RR line which historically connected these mountain communities. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds and religious sites, such as the Turner Cem and the Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church, which mark the center of the Oak Ridge settlement. The map highlights the contrast between the densely wooded ridges and the developed clusters at Newfoundland, Macopin, and Kinnelon. Significant elevation changes are evident from the high peaks of Copperas Mtn down to the shores of Echo Lake, illustrating the topographic character of the Passaic, Morris, and Sussex county borders.
