The country of the New Vernon territory is the smaller, original country and is approximately 6 by 3 miles, rolling with pasture and woodlands. Trails through developed areas replace some fields and connect to bridle paths through woodlands. The Allamuchy territory is a 12 by 15 mile area in Warren and Sussex counties. This area is mostly farmland. All fences are coops, post and rails and stone walls.
