2014 Map of Wawayanda

About this map

Wawayanda Lake and the high ridges of Wawayanda Mtn dominate this 2014 survey of the borderlands between New York and New Jersey. The landscape is defined by its significant water bodies, from the expansive Upper Greenwood Lake and Highland Lake to the industrial-scale Canistear Reservoir in the south. The settlement pattern shows a distinct shift from the valley floors near Vernon and New Milford to the lakeside communities of Kampe, Moe, and Uttertown. Local history is preserved at the Glenwood Cem and within the narrow drainage corridors of Pochuck Creek and Black Creek. The map documents the persistent rural-residential character of the Sussex Co and Passaic Co highlands, where steep terrain like Bearfort Mtn has historically limited dense development to specific basins and transit routes like RT-94.
