2016 Map of Chester

About this map

The South Branch Raritan River and Lamington River define the hydrography of this New Jersey corridor, carving through the German Valley and the Fox Hill Range. At the northern edge of this 2016 survey, the community of Budd Lake sits near its eponymous water body, while the suburban centers of Succasunna and Flanders anchor the central hills. Historically significant sites are preserved through the landscape, including the Chester Congregational Churchyard in Chester and the Pleasant Hill Cem near Pleasant Hill. The map detail shows a complex network of local roads and housing developments intermixed with older rural tracts like Mt Paul and Hacklebarney. Small settlements such as Bartley, Ironia, and Naughright illustrate the persistent residential patterns established along these highland valleys.
