2019 Map of Stanhope

About this map

Stanhope and Netcong anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Musconetcong River flows through Lake Musconetcong. The map detail traces the heavily indented shoreline of southern Lake Hopatcong, revealing numerous coves and points such as King Cove, Point Pleasant, and the residential clusters of Hopatcong and Mount Arlington. This 2019 survey documents a dense network of suburban development and recreational infrastructure, including the Sussex Branch Trail and the Highlands Trail. North of the busy corridor, the terrain rises into the Sparta Mountains and Allamuchy Mtn, where smaller water bodies like Wolf Lake and Stag Pond sit among more forested areas. For genealogists, the Stanhope Union Cem serves as a key landmark in a region defined by its transition from industrial river towns to lakeside communities.
