About this map

Wanaque Reservoir and Monksville Reservoir dominate the central geography of this Passaic County landscape, illustrating the critical role of the Highlands in New Jersey's water infrastructure. The survey details the established residential patterns of Wanaque, Bloomingdale, and Pompton Lakes, alongside smaller enclaves like Stonetown and Erskine Lakes. In the north, Greenwood Lake Airport and the smaller Hill-Top Airport mark the era's light aviation footprint.

Industrial and transport history is represented by the convergence at Pompton Junction, while the rugged eastern terrain is defined by the Ramapo Mountains and heights such as Bellot Mtn. Local family history is grounded in sites like Cedar Heights Cem and Ponds Cem, located near the Oakland border. The map traces the winding paths of Burnt Meadow Brook and West Brook, which feed the massive reservoirs that redefined this valley's topography.
