About this map

Caldwell and the surrounding Essex and Morris County communities are defined by a landscape of suburban development intersected by the historic winding course of the Passaic River. In this modern era, the suburban fabric is dense, yet punctuated by large institutional and recreational spaces such as Caldwell Coll and Restland Memorial Park. Major transportation arteries like Eisenhower Pky and Bloomfield Ave facilitate movement through established neighborhoods like West Caldwell, Roseland, and East Hanover.

Critical infrastructure and geographic barriers shape the area's layout, most notably the ridges of First Watchung Mtn and Second Watchung Mtn. The map highlights the significance of local water management, featuring several large basins including Canoe Brook Reservoir Number 1 and the Commonwealth Water Company Reservoir Number Three. These reservoirs, along with the Essex County Airport, represent the major land uses that have persisted amidst the residential expansion of northern New Jersey.
