Morristown National Historical Park anchors the southeastern landscape of this Morris County region, preserving significant grounds near Morristown. The area is defined by a complex drainage network where the North Branch Raritan River and Passaic River emerge from the high ground of Calais Mtn and Mine Mtn. Settlement patterns here reflect a transition from the established borough of Mendham and the village of Brookside to the higher elevations of Mount Freedom and Shongum. The map highlights several institutional and spiritual landmarks, including the Assumption College for Sisters and the Hilltop Presbyterian Cem. Regional water management is evident through the Clyde Potts Reservoir and Mendham Reservoir, which sit among the wooded ridges that separate these colonial-era communities.
