Papakating Creek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Papakating Creek is a tributary of the Wallkill River in Sussex County, New Jersey in the United States.

The headwaters of this creek lie between Branchville and Wykertown, with the water running in a southeasterly direction to a point just south of Armstrong and then turning northeast and running up through the middle of the Papakating Valley. Papakating Creek joins the Wallkill River just east of Sussex Borough. Reputed to have been referred to as "Pepper Cotton" during the period of the American Revolution, it has been suggested that the source of the name refers to the "valley of great hill or mountain."
