About this map

Newton and its surrounding hamlets define the landscape of central Sussex County in this detailed topographical study. The county seat is home to the Sussex County Judicial Center and Sussex County Community College, alongside several significant local landmarks such as Newton Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. The region's natural geography is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including the Pequest River and the Paulins Kill, which once powered local industry at sites like Bales Mill Pond.

Glacial lakes are a prominent feature of this New Jersey Highlands terrain, with Swartswood Lake and its accompanying Little Swartswood Lake serving as central points for recreation and settlement. Numerous trails, such as the Paulinskill Valley Trl and Emmons Path Trl, trace the old paths of commerce and transport. The map also includes a section of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in the northwest, near the Kittatinny Mtn ridge.
