About this map

The Pequannock River corridor defines this portion of the Highlands, where the massive engineering of the North Jersey water supply system is evident through the Oak Ridge Reservoir, Canistear Reservoir, and Charlotteburg Reservoir. These major impoundments sit alongside long-established settlements like Newfoundland and Oak Ridge, which served as historical focal points for transport and commerce in the region. The map reveals a landscape of high ridges and narrow valleys, including Bearfort Mtn and Kanouse Mtn, which have historically constrained development to the low-lying gaps.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds and religious sites, such as the Turner Cem, Vreeland Cem, and the Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church. The transition from rural crossroad to modern residential enclave is seen in the gated community of Smoke Rise and the various clusters near Green Pond Junction, illustrating the area's evolution from a resource-based economy to a high-demand suburban fringe.
