2014 Map of Bernardsville

About this map

Morristown National Historical Park anchors the northern portion of this landscape, where the Passaic River and its numerous tributaries like Indian Grave Brook and Primrose Brook carve through the terrain of Mine Mtn. The 2014 survey reveals a suburbanized corridor along Bernardsville and Basking Ridge, yet preserves the locations of early industrial sites such as Van Dorans Mills and Osborn Mills. Genealogy is well-served by the density of documented burial grounds, including Saint Bernards Cem and the Millington Baptist Churchyard. The southern edge is defined by the sharp ridges of First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn, which frame the lowlands of the Dead River. This modern topographic study captures the persistence of colonial-era place names like Liberty Corner and Logansville amidst a network of major transportation routes including 287 and 78.
