About this map

Round Valley Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Hunterdon and Somerset County border region, framed by the heights of Cushetunk Mtn and the Cushetunk Trail. The map documents a sophisticated water and milling history along the South Branch Raritan River, where several historically significant milling sites are identified, including Rockefellows Mills, Holcomb Mills, Darts Mills, and Rowland Mills.

Settlement patterns follow the rail and river corridors, with the regional center at Flemington featuring its established burial grounds such as Prospect Hill Cem and the Flemington Baptist Churchyard. To the east and north, smaller hamlets like Three Bridges and White House Station serve as anchors for the rural road network. The presence of the Lehigh Valley RR and major routes like 31 and 202 highlight the area's role as a transportation hub between the heights of Round Mtn and the fertile river valleys.
