2019 Map of Newton West

About this map

Newton serves as the focal point for this survey of Sussex County, anchoring a landscape where civic life meets the complex hydrology of the Kittatinny Valley. The town center is densely documented, featuring the Sussex County Judicial Center and Sussex County Community College, alongside long-established local sites like Newton Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. Outside the county seat, the terrain is defined by the Paulins Kill and the Pequest River, which drain a region heavily pocketed with water bodies such as Swartswood Lake and Lake Kemah. To the northwest, the edge of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area begins at Kittatinny Mtn, marking a transition from the agricultural and residential pockets of Stillwater and Fredon into protected wilderness. The map captures a mix of historic rural settlements like Balesville and modern residential developments surrounding the numerous glacial lakes.
