About this map

The hills of Morris County are defined by a complex network of reservoirs and protected woodlands, anchored by the Morristown National Historical Park in the southeast. This 2014 landscape shows the residential density of Dover, Shongum, and Mendham interspersed with significant institutional footprints such as the County College of Morris and the Rabbinical College of America. Numerous small settlements and crossroads like Calais Crossroads, Brookside, and Ironia are preserved amidst the terrain of Trowbridge Mountain and Calais Mountain.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Clyde Potts Reservoir, Mendham Reservoir, and Dover Reservoir. The map captures several historic cemeteries, including Mt Freedom Hebrew Cemetery and the Hilltop Presbyterian Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogists tracing local families across the Morris and Somerset County line. The Patriots Path winds through these varied elevations, connecting the modern suburban fabric to the area's Revolutionary-era heritage.
