About this map

Boonton and its surrounding Morris County neighborhoods appear here in a period of established suburban development and preserved water resources. The Rockaway River winds through the landscape, feeding into the Boonton Reservoir and past the historic industrial centers of Powerville and Montville. This region is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, from the sprawling Splitrock Reservoir in the north to numerous smaller lakes like Cedar Lake and Lake Telemark, which helped shape the recreational and residential character of the 20th century.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Marcella Cemetery, Winters Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery. The map also documents the transportation and communication infrastructure of the era, such as the New York Susquehanna and Western RR corridor and the Aircraft Radio Corporation Airport. Settlement patterns vary from the historic village layout of Hibernia to the planned residential enclaves of Mountain Lakes and Lake Hiawatha.
