The Jockey Hollow is the largest unit of Morristown NHP encompassing approximately 1,320 acres. The landscape is a hilly woodland area interspersed with open fields. The headwaters of Primrose Brook (a tributary of the Passaic River) are in the area. Elevations range from 310 feet where the park boundary intersects Primrose Brook, to 756 feet at the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain. Slopes are gentle to moderately steep. Hardwood trees include oak, maple, dogwood, black walnut, and locust. Key historic sites in Jockey Hollow include the Wick Farm, the Guerin Farmhouse, replica huts, road traces, and many archeological remains. Post-encampment additions include the Visitor Center, several residential complexes, the park maintenance facilities, tour roads and trails, and several soldiers’ hut replicas. The Wick Farm, a component landscape within Jockey Hollow, is documented in its own CLI and will not be covered in detail in this report.
