2023 Map of High Bridge

About this map

Spruce Run Reservoir dominates the central landscape of Hunterdon County, serving as a modern focal point for an area defined by deep historical roots. The terrain is structured by the prominent ridges of Pohatcong Mountain and Musconetcong Mountain, which frame the agricultural and industrial corridors of the Musconetcong Valley. At the town of High Bridge, the waters of the South Branch Raritan River flow past Lake Solitude, while the legacy of early industry remains visible at the Red Mill and the milling site of Stone Mill. For researchers, the map is densely packed with family and community history, preserving the locations of numerous small settlements like Polktown, Van Syckel, and Woodglen. Local heritage is anchored by significant religious sites including the Norton Methodist Episcopal Churchyard, Saint Anns Catholic Church Cem, and the Spruce Run Lutheran Cem.
