About this map

Allentown serves as a central hub on this landscape, situated where Doctors Creek and Indian Run converge near Conines Millpond. The map reveals a dense network of early crossroads and hamlets, including New Sharon, Imlaystown, and Ellisdale, reflecting the agrarian and milling heritage of the central New Jersey borderlands between Mercer, Monmouth, and Burlington counties. The topography is defined by significant water bodies such as Assunpink Lake and Imlaystown Lake, alongside winding waterways like Crosswicks Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous burial grounds, such as Allentown Presbyterian Cem and Saint John's Cem. The region's modern infrastructure is also evident, featuring the Trenton-Robbinsville Airport and Princeton Memorial Park. This area maintains its historic settlement patterns even as contemporary residential developments like Meadows Terrace and Hillside Terrace expand the footprint of these historic village centers.
