Great Swamp dominates the western landscape of this 1955 survey, where the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge preserves a significant wetland ecosystem just miles from growing suburban centers. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the First Watchung Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain, creating a natural corridor for settlements along the Passaic River. The map shows a transition from rural clusters like New Vernon and Green Village to the denser residential grids of Chatham, Madison, and New Providence.
