Neepaulakating Creek
Neepaulakating Creek is a 2.4-mile long (3.8 km) tributary of Papakating Creek in Wantage Township in Sussex County, New Jersey in the United States.〔United States Geological Survey, Geographic Names Information System, (Feature Detail Report for: Neepaulakating Creek ). Retrieved June 26, 2015.〕〔United States Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ). Retrieved June 26, 2015. Note: The upper elevation of its headwaters is approximately 640 feet above mean sea level derived from a reading of the USGS NHD topographic map. The NHD information provides the elevation the mouth at 395 feet above mean sea level. See also: United States Geological Survey, ''Hamburg, NJ Quadrangle USGS 1:24 Topographic Map 41074B5'' and ''Branchville, NJ Quadrangle USGS 1:24 Topographic Map 41074B4''.〕 It is one of three streams feeding the Papakating Creek, a major contributor to the Wallkill River. Although the stream was dammed in the 1950s to create Lake Neepaulin as the focal point of a private residential development, the stream did not receive a name until 2002. Residents chose a name that combined elements of the names "Neepaulin" and "Papakating", and submitted a proposal to the United States Board of Geographic Names. The name was approved in 2004.
==Course and watershed==
Neepaulakating Creek is small stream whose headwaters are located at 640 feet (195 m) above sea level approximately 0.4 miles (0.6 km) northwest of the north end of Lake Neepaulin.〔〔〔Friends of Lake Neepaulin, Nathaniel Sajdak, Jennifer E. Runyon (USGS), United States Board of Geographic Names, (Case Brief: Neepaulakating Creek ) (2002). Retrieved June 26, 2015.〕 These headwaters are located a short distance south of County Route 650 (Libertyville Road) roughly half-way between the hamlet of Libertville in Wantage Township and Sussex Borough.〔〔Google, Inc., (Google Maps location for 41°13'23.3"N 74°38'01.6"W (source) ). Retrieved June 27, 2015.〕 The stream flows into Lake Neepaulin located at 509 ft (155 m) above sea level.〔United States Geological Survey, Geographic Names Information System, (Feature Detail Report for: Lake Neepaulin ). Retrieved July 20, 2015.〕 The man-made lake, created through damming, is the centre of a private residential development.〔Eric Oberhauer, "Wantage resident suing over costs of Lake Neepaulin dam", ''The New Jersey Herald'', April 22, 2012.〕 It flows southeast from the lake's dam in the southeast direction for another 1.5 miles (2.4 km) before flowing into Papakating Creek. It enters Papakating Creek at 395 feet (120 m) above sea level approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) upstream of that creek's junction with the Wallkill River at a location directly south of Sussex Borough along County Route 565 near the hamlet of Lewisburg in Wantage Township and near Sussex Airport.〔〔〔〔Google, Inc., (Google Maps location for 41°11'56.7"N 74°36'40.4"W (mouth) ).

Along with the Clove Brook and West Branch Papakating Creek, Neepaulakating Creek is one the tributaries that form the watershed of Papakating Creek, a major tributary of the Wallkill River. The Papakating Creek watershed is located in the Kittatinny Valley, is underlain by dark shale and limestone of the Martinsburg Formation, and has soils of glacial origin. The topography of the Papakating Creek's watershed ranges from gentle slopes in the east to steeper slopes in the west.〔Avery Ala Drake Jr., Richard A. Volkert, Donald H. Monteverde, Gregory C. Herman, Hugh F. Houghton, Ronald A. Parker, and Richard F. Dalton, (I2540a: Bedrock geologic map of northern New Jersey, IMAP ). (Washington DC: United States Geological Survey, 1997). Retrieved 22 July 2015.〕〔New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Watershed Management, (Amendment to the Sussex County Water Quality Management Plan: Total Maximum Daily Load to Address Phosphorus in the Clove Acres Lake and Papakating Creek Northwest Water Region ) (2004), 9, 15. Retrieved June 26, 2015.〕 According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), the Papakating watershed consists of gently sloping farmland, forested land, wetlands, older individually built homes, and low-density residential development.〔New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, ''(State Development & Redevelopment Plan. Plan Endorsement Opportunities & Constraints: Analysis for Township of Frankford, Sussex County )'' (2009), 14, 16. Retrieved June 26, 2015.〕
According to NJDEP reports, two developed lake communities in the Papakating Creek watershed—Lake Neepaulin and the nearby Clove Acres Lake contribute to phosphorus loading in the waters of Papakating Creek. The phosphorus loading may originate from the runoff of fertilizer applications on residential lawns, nearby agricultural operations, or from large populations of geese that inhabit the lakes.〔
