About this map

Newark and Elizabeth form a dense urban and industrial corridor along the Arthur Kill and Newark Bay in this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by massive transportation and maritime infrastructure, including the sprawling Newark International Airport, the Port Newark Terminal, and the Elizabeth Authority Piers. These facilities, alongside major rail nodes like Oak Island Junction, illustrate the region's role as a global logistics hub.

Beyond the industrial waterfront, the map detail preserves the neighborhood texture of places like Hillside, Irvington, and Elizabethport. Academic and civic life is anchored by institutions such as Seton Hall University and Kean University, while local history is etched into numerous large burial grounds, including Holy Sepulchre Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery. The intricate network of streets and rail lines connects these residential squares with the commercial centers of Union Square and Crane Square.
