Soil Survey of Sussex County, New Jersey (Washington, DC: 2009), 3.</ref> According to Snell, "The surface of the country is generally uneven and hilly, and on the west exceedingly rugged and mountainous. Ponds and watercourses abound. Of the latter, the most important is the Paulinskill, a millstream of considerable consequence."<ref>Snell, 379.</ref> All of Stillwater Township is located in the [[Paulins Kill]] [[Drainage basin|watershed]] which flows southwest through Sussex and Warren counties before joining the [[Delaware River]] near [[Columbia, New Jersey]]. The valley floor is part of the [[Ordovician]] [[Martinsburg Formation]] (shale and slate) which make up most of the valley—and the [[Jacksonburg Formation]] (mostly limestone).
