2014 Map of Hightstown

About this map

Hightstown and Plainsboro anchor this 2014 survey, which highlights the dense residential development and suburban growth along the Middlesex Co and Mercer Co border. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management and drainage, with numerous brooks such as Devils Brook, Shallow Brook, and Cranbury Brook feeding into the Millstone River and Assunpink Creek. The map records several smaller historical nodes like Schalks, Grovers Mill, and Locust Corner, alongside larger residential areas like Princeton Ivy East and Golf View Manor. Notable for genealogists and local historians are several long-established burial grounds, including the Kingston Presbyterian Cem in the northwest and Brainerd Cem near the center of the quadrangle. Significant recreational and hydrological features like Carnegie Lake, Grovers Mill Pond, and Etra Lake illustrate how the region's natural waterways have been harnessed for both local industry and community utility.
