Excerpt: Cushetunk Mountain (formerly Mount Ployden and Pickel's Mountain occasionally Mount Cushetunk or Coshanton ) is a ring shaped mountain in the U.S. state of New Jersey , located in Readington and Clinton Township . The Lenape called the mountain "Cushetunk" meaning "place of hogs" after the wild hogs found there. In the 1960s, the valley at the heart of the mountain was dammed and filled with water to create Round Valley Reservoir . Today, the mountain and its accompanying lake act as a vital water supply to Central New Jersey , while at the same time providing numerous recreational opportunities to the region.Geography Cushetunk Mountain, located in Clinton Township, New Jersey and Readington, New Jersey is a horseshoe shaped mountain with the tips of its two prongs ending in the west at the edge of the New Jersey Highlands .
