About this map

Chatham and the surrounding residential communities of New Providence, Berkeley Heights, and Fanwood are captured here as they appeared in 2011. This densely developed region of Union and Somerset Counties is defined by its transit corridors and the natural curves of the Passaic River and Green Brook. The landscape is a mix of suburban street grids and protected open spaces, such as the Madison Golf Course and the wooded area surrounding Lake Surprise.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several significant interment sites including the North Plainfield Burying Ground and Saint Marys Cemetery. Evidence of the area's mid-century growth and established institutions is found in the locations of the Chatham Post Office, the Berkeley Heights School, and various community hubs like Murray Hill and Gillette. The inclusion of the Morristown Line reflects the historical importance of rail connectivity to the development of these commuter towns.
