The Highlands of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania

The New York-New Jersey Highlands Regional Study is a very large document (229 pages with many graphics); therefore, we provided both pdf and html versions which had to be broken down by chapter(s). Note: Allow sufficient time for the entire document to load in your browser. The html document will load much faster than the pdf document.

PDF files must be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it for free from Adobe's website.
