Wallpack Valley

Wallpack Valley (or Walpack Valley) is a valley located in Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey formed by Wallpack Ridge (elevation 600–900 feet) on the west, and Kittatinny Mountain (1400–1800 feet) on the east.〔For elevations, see: U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service. Soil Survey of Sussex County, New Jersey (Washington, DC: 2009), 3.〕 Wallpack Ridge separates the Wallpack Valley from the valley of the Delaware River (also known as the Minisink or Minisink Valley), and contains the watershed of the Flat Brook and its main tributaries Big Flat Brook and Little Flat Brook.〔Witte, Ron W., and Monteverde Don H. ("Geological History of New Jersey's Ridge and Valley Physiographic Province" ) (Trenton, New Jersey: New Jersey Geological and Water Survey. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, 2012).〕 It is a narrow valley, roughly in length running from Montague Township south of Port Jervis, New York to the Walpack Bend in the Delaware River near Flatbrookville in Walpack Township where the Flat Brook enters the Delaware at 300 feet above sea level.〔Delaware River Basin Commission. ("Section 6: Sussex County" ) from ''Flood Mitigation Plan for the Non-tidal, New Jersey section of the Delaware River Basin'' (November 2008), 244.〕〔Witte, Ron W., and Monteverde Don H. "Karst in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area" from (Unearthing New Jersey ) (Newsletter) Vol. 2 No. 1 Winter 2006. (Trenton: New Jersey Geological Survey, Department of Environmental Protection, 2006).〕
Haneys Mill is a section of Walpack. A grist mill was built there around 1860. It appears on the Sussex County wall map of that year with a nearby sawmill, a lime kiln, and residences of C. Haney, J.W. Fuller and B.D. Fuller. Serving at various times as a gristmill, a sawmill and a cidermill, the last operator was Jake Haney. The mid-nineteenth century farmhouse of the Haney family also stood nearby. Some of the scenes from the 1933 Ford Motor Company promotional film “These Thirty Years” were filmed here. In the movie, the place was known as the Haines farm; across the road in front of the house were the barns where the auction scene was filmed.〔"Landmarks" Walpack Historical Society, n.d. Web 18 July 2013 http://www.walpackhistory.org/index.php/landmarks〕
After the floods in the 1950s, which raised the water of the Delaware ABOVE the level of the roads alongside it, a controversial project to build a hydroelectric dam and reservoir on the Delaware River in the 1950s and 1960s led to government's seizure of land in northwestern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The construction of the dam would have created a lake reservoir that would have flooded the Walpack Valley. For political and geological reasons, the dam project was deauthorized and the land transferred to the management of the National Park Service for the establishment of a National Recreation Area.〔Feiveson, Harold; Sinden, Frank; and Socolow, Robert. ''Boundaries of Analysis: an Inquiry Into the Tocks Island Dam Controversy.'' (1976); Albert, Richard C. ''Damming the Delaware: The Rise and Fall of Tocks Island Dam'' (State College, Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1987).〕 Currently, Wallpack Ridge is located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area that was established by the National Park Service in 1978.
