About this map

Lake Mohawk serves as a major focal point for this Sussex County landscape, surrounded by several smaller water bodies including Upper Lake Mohawk, Lake Iliff, and Lake Grinnell. The area exhibits a mix of residential development and industrial land use, notably the large Limecrest Quarry and the Aeroflex-Andover Airport near Wawayanda. Settlement patterns are defined by historic junctions and crossroads such as Sparta Junction, Ross Corner, and Woodruffs Gap.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the Paulins Kill river system, which flows near the rail corridor of the Newton Branchville Junction. In the northeastern portion of the map, the Pimple Hills rise above Monroe, while the southeastern corner features the developed recreational landscape of the Lake Mohawk Golf Course. Local history is anchored by sites like Sussex Mills and the Vaughn Cemetery, reflecting the long-standing community centers of the New Jersey highlands.
