Pohatcong Creek at Valley Road
Does anyone know this area well? You take Jackson Valley Rd. to Valley Road and it winds around to Mitchell Rd. Mt. Hope is located there. Remains of an old iron foundry (?) and the old Karrville Post Office and General Store. Does it flood the road there? Is it bad?
John Dees What is Mt Hope? I know the area, but aren't quite sure what you are talking about.

Brad2That area North of Port Murray, taking Karrsville off from Main St. in Port Murray is quite low once you go through the gap between the hills. I don't know if the road itself floods, but that area would be considered the floodplain of Pohatcong Creek and its tributaries and would be quite prone to flooding, especially snowmelt flooding channeled by ice from plowed snow, which is what's likely to happen Wednesday.

Make sure you have "view topography and elevation" selected on the top left and you'll see what I mean. The way to be sure though is to go to whatever branch of the Warren County Library is closest to that and ask the Reference Librarian for the flood maps for that particular area.
