About this map

Great Piece Meadows and the surrounding wetlands dominate the low-lying basin where the Pequannock River, Ramapo River, and Wanaque River converge to form the Pompton River. This complex hydrologic network defines the geography between Pompton Plains, Lincoln Park, and Fairfield. The historic route of the Morris Canal remains a visible trace across the landscape, cutting through Towaco and toward the Passaic River, serving as a reminder of the region’s nineteenth-century industrial transport legacy.

Residential expansion is noted in the surrounding hills, from the lake communities of Fayson Lakes and Pines Lake to the established borough of Butler. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Mount Holiness Memorial Park Cem and the small Fredericks Cem. Aviation infrastructure is well-represented by the Lincoln Park Airport and Essex County Airport, while the northern reaches transition into the rising elevations of Pyramid Mtn and Turkey Mtn.
