Morris County

Morris County, New Jersey, features a diverse topography characterized by rolling hills, ridges, and valleys. The western part of the county is dominated by the New Jersey Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains, with elevations reaching approximately 1,395 feet (425 meters) above sea level near Pine Swamp in Jefferson Township. In contrast, the eastern section is part of the Piedmont Plateau, offering gentler slopes and elevations around 160 feet (49 meters) at the confluence of the Passaic and Pompton rivers, and featuring the Watchung Mountains, which include prominent ridges. These ridges are composed of basaltic rock formations and extend over 40 miles (64 km) from Somerset County in the southwest to Bergen County in the northeast. The county's terrain is further shaped by several rivers, including the Passaic, Pompton, and Rockaway Rivers, which have carved valleys and floodplains through the landscape. Additionally, glacial activity during the last Ice Age has left behind features such as the Great Swamp, a remnant of the prehistoric Glacial Lake Passaic. Overall, Morris County's topography offers a varied landscape, from the rugged highlands in the west to the rolling hills and river valleys in the east.
