About this map

Allentown sits at the heart of this landscape where Mercer, Monmouth, and Burlington counties converge. The area is defined by its deep colonial roots and religious heritage, evidenced by several historic burial grounds including the Allentown Presbyterian Cem, Allentown Methodist Cem, and Saint John's Cem. The hydrology of the region is characterized by slow-moving waterways and millponds, such as Conines Millpond and Imlaystown Lake, which historically powered local industry.

Modern infrastructure now overlays these older patterns, notably with the Trenton-Robbinsville Airport and the growth of suburban developments like Meadows Terrace and Hillside Terrace. Despite this expansion, the terrain maintains its traditional character through numerous small settlements like Pullentown, Imlaystown, and Ellisdale. These hamlets are connected by a dense network of older roads, including Old York Rd, which follow the natural contours of the Assunpink Creek and Doctors Creek drainages.
