2014 Map of Bound Brook

About this map

Bound Brook and its surrounding communities are defined by the convergence of the Raritan River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which snake through the industrial and residential heart of the region. The landscape transitions from the urban density of Somerville and Manville to the prominent ridges of the First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including the Van Nest Burying Ground and numerous denominational grounds like the Holy Ghost Carpatho Russian Cem and Immaculate Conception Cem. Transportation networks are a dominant theme, with the Lehigh Valley RR cutting across the terrain near the Central Jersey Regional Airport, reflecting the long-standing role of the Raritan Valley as a corridor for movement and industry.
