2014 Map of High Bridge

About this map

Spruce Run Reservoir dominates the heart of the central New Jersey landscape, separating the rugged elevations of Musconetcong Mtn from the developed corridors of the S Br Raritan River. This topographical study illustrates a region defined by its varied settlement patterns, from the industrial character of High Bridge and Clinton in the south to the higher-elevation rural hamlets like Woodglen and Anthony in the north. Genealogists can find numerous historical burial sites, including the Saint Anns Catholic Church Cem near Hampton Junction and the Norton Methodist Episcopal Church Yard. The convergence of transportation and industry is evident where the Musconetcong River cuts through the valley, passing through historic hubs like Changewater and New Hampton. The presence of small aviation sites such as Vliet Airport and recreational features like Lake Solitude underscore the modern land use transitions in Warren and Hunterdon counties.
