2014 Map of Stanhope

About this map

The Musconetcong River carves a natural border between Sussex and Morris counties, anchoring a region defined by its complex waterway network and historical transit corridors. Concentrated development centers on Stanhope and Netcong, where the Stanhope Union Cem and a dense grid of streets suggest the long-standing community centers of the southern Musconetcong valley. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Sparta Mountains, featuring a series of smaller highland lakes such as Lake Lackawanna and Wright Pond. Significant residential clusters like Hopatcong Hills and Shore Hills border the southwestern reaches of Lake Hopatcong, while the Ninety Five Mile Tree Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark to the west. This mapping shows the modern infrastructure of Ledgewood and Shippenport alongside preserved natural features like Floating Island and the meandering Wills Brook.
