The Watchung Mountains define the character of this suburban New Jersey landscape, where the dramatic ridges of First Mountain and Second Mountain separate burgeoning residential developments from the wetlands of Hatfield Swamp. This mid-century view documents a transition as communities like Livingston and West Caldwell expand toward the Passaic River and Great Piece Meadows. Institutional and recreational land use is prominent, ranging from the County Penitentiary and County Sanitarium to the extensive South Mountain Reservation and numerous country clubs like Essex Fells Country Club.
