About this map

Hackensack and the surrounding dense suburban landscape of Bergen County are captured here in high detail, showcasing the region's complex water and transport networks. The Hackensack River winds southward, passing the Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus and feeding into the large Oradell Reservoir to the north. This geography is defined by its numerous small waterways, including Hohokus Brook, Saddle River, and Van Saun Mill Brook, which weave through established boroughs like Paramus, Westwood, and Bergenfield.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial sites and memorial grounds documented, such as the French Huguenot Demarest Cem in New Bridge, the Westwood Cem, and the Lodi Burial Grounds. The map also illustrates the massive transportation infrastructure of the Garden State Pkwy as it intersects with rail lines at Passaic Junction, reflecting the area's role as a major hub for the New Jersey suburbs.
