About this map

The Pequannock River corridor serves as the primary artery through this Highland landscape, where the New York Susquehanna and Western RR parallels its course through Newfoundland. The 1954 culture revision reveals a region defined by its significant water infrastructure, featuring the Canistear Reservoir, Clinton Reservoir, and Echo Lake. These water bodies are flanked by the steep ridges of Bearfort Mountain and Kanouse Mountain, which constrained settlement to the valleys and plateaus.

Genealogists will find notable detail in the clusters of family-named landmarks and local institutions, including the Oak Ridge Cem, Vreeland Cem, and Lutheran Cem. Small communities like Postville, Upper Macopin, and Oak Ridge are clearly delineated, showing the residential patterns before more modern suburban expansion. The inclusion of the West Milford Sch and Echo Lake Ch provides specific anchors for local history research within the Passaic and Morris County borders.
