About this map

The Great Swamp dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, preserved as a significant natural expanse amidst the growing suburban corridors of northern New Jersey. To the east, the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR facilitates the development of commuter hubs like Chatham, New Providence, and Murray Hill. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridges of Long Hill and the Watchung Mountains, which create natural boundaries for settlements and public lands such as the Watchung Reservation.
