1994 Map of Wawayanda

About this map

Wawayanda State Park and the Abram S Hewitt State Forest dominate this landscape on the New Jersey-New York border, preserving a network of lakes and ridgelines. The Appalachian Trail winds across Wawayanda Mountain and Pochuck Mountain, following the high ground above the Vernon Valley. In the lowlands, the settlement at Vernon and the lakeside community of Highland Lakes mark the primary residential areas, while smaller hamlets like Glenwood and DeKays are tucked along the winding roads of the interior. The presence of older institutional sites, such as District School No 8 near New Milford and the Twp Sch, alongside traditional landmarks like the Greenwood Ch, indicates a settled rural corridor. This mid-century imagery also captures the recreational character of the region, from the extensive waters of Wawayanda Lake and Upper Greenwood Lake to a local Drive-in Theater near the state line.
