The Great Swamp dominates the northwestern landscape of this Morris County region, serving as a natural buffer between the settlements of New Vernon and Gillette. The Passaic River meanders through the central valley, defining the borders between Morris, Union, and Somerset counties while connecting a dense network of suburban communities including Chatham, Summit, and Berkeley Heights. This topography is shaped by the prominent ridgelines of First Watchung Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain, which hem in the southern residential corridors of Plainfield and Scotch Plains.
