2014 Map of Wanaque

About this map

Wanaque Reservoir dominates this Passaic County landscape, its expansive waters collected behind a series of dams that reshaped the local topography. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of smaller water bodies and residential enclaves, from the established centers of Wanaque and Butler to more secluded lakefront communities like Erskine Lakes and Melody Lake. In the northern section, the Monksville Reservoir further illustrates the region's role in water management, while the Ramapo Mountains rise to the east, creating a sharp contrast between the developed valley corridors and the steep, wooded heights.
